While I can't argue that the liberals are in the minority just yet, consider Bush's high approval ratings.

Except for the few pockets of liberal strongholds, Bush took the country by storm. Don't you just love the Bush Country map? I bet you do. :-)

Clinton was a master at claiming ownership of conservative ideas and accomplishments of the conservative right when he found that the people of the country really wanted that. Surely you remember Clinton fighting a balanced budget tooth and nail until it was clear that the people of this country wanted it, and then it was his idea.

Years ago we had friends who always voted Democrat. We agreed with them on issues all the way down the line, but they had been led to believe the Democrats were the ones who believed the way they did. They finally realized they were voting for candidates who believed the opposite, and have been staunch Republicans ever since. This is happening all over the country now that the internet is making it possible to counter the lies of the Democrats and liberal media.

If you can attract married suburban women, the independent elderly and blue collar males to your political support team, you are unbeatable as a Republican. Reagan certainly had that allure, and it is looking like GWB has it as well.

That's a 60-65% national voting bloc right there. I anticipate that Bush will win the trade union/farm states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Jersey) in 2004, and he'll have an easy electoral ride. California, New England and New York - they're completely hopeless. Bush shouldn't spend one dime or one hour in any of those places.

If you saw the Hannity & Colmes show from Dearborn, MI last night, you can see that there is an undercurrent of conservative, patriotic support among real people who aren't meticulously pre-screened like those phony "town meetings" that Koppel and CNN always put together. I'm optimistic about November. I think the GOP is going to pick up 3-4 net Senate Seats and about that many House seats as well.

It's on my homepage. :^)

The liberal media (network TV and the largest newspapers) distort the conservative message at every opportunity in order to persuade the voting public that the conservative positions in which they believe are owned by the liberal Democrats. Clinton was a master at claiming ownership of conservative ideas and accomplishments of the conservative right when he found that the people of the country really wanted that.

Talk radio, Fox News, then the internet. We're starting to make a dent. We still need to take more ground in the schools and universities, we need at least one movie studio, and more television channels. As far as media goes, I believe there is a huge market for conservative-based movies. Seems like almost every movie we see has a liberal theme to it.
