I live in the most conservative part of Michigan. And I am well aware of the 'red area' that Bush won. But the ideology battle isn't fought on the far right or left. It's fought in the middle. And Bush lost key states like Wisconsin and Michigan. To win these states, he has to appeal not only to the conservatives, but to the middle as well. But if since the middle is a harder sell than the right, and if the far right jump shit, then GWB will be a one-termer.
