"Know thy enemy" - I buy that. However, look at people's responses here. If we were truly studying the enemy, we would be analyzing how biased this NYT article, rather than presuming it's true and responding to its contents. Take this gem at the end of the NYT propaganda: "Democrats are speculating that stock car aficionados are the very people whose jobs are in jeopardy in the sluggish Bush economy and whose families have been placed at risk by the administration's military pursuits overseas." If that isn't wishful thinking and pathetic liberal spin, I don't know what is. Yeah, I really think that they're going to be angry at Bush for his "military pursuits". The split on "Do you think we were right in going to Iraq" is 65-35 in recent polls and Nascar fans are likely at least at that level. I also like it how the NYT presumes that Bush's liberation of Iraq will place American families at risk. Read the last part of the sentence again, "....stock car aficionados are the very people....whose families have been placed at risk by the administration's military pursuits overseas." This kind of ridiculous suck-up to the DNC is why no one should take the NYT seriously.

Bristol and Talladega would be good stops, too. NASCAR has the cleanest fans of any of the major sports.
