Tipsville . . .

Tidbits about the new Democratic leadership. I beleive that McAullife did a great job. Dean taking that spot would be intriguing, but DEAN? The water thing is retarded. Ohio borders a large body of water and we lost that too.

This election has really hurt. The big thing is that the GOP won doing everything wrong: they ran toward their base not the center; they had massive turnout; exit polls had Kerry winning in key states that ended up the reverse; undecideds broke for Kerry as they were suppossed ... and Kerry still lost. This is unprecedented.

Rove and the gang are truly the best. They saw that the center and undecideds were going to break against them months ago. The only way they could win was to play up the people's fears and then drive up their voters. They did that and even using the "dynamic scoring" suggested in Slate, they still killed 'em. I'm not sure I understand how they got such motivated voters out there in the right places, but they did it. Now what? There is a lot of things that will go wrong for the country. As much as I want to believe that Bush has the interests of the people at heart, he will screw us. No pharmacutical or energy company left behind. No plan for education and research. No plan in Iraq or on the War on Terror. No oversight in/on/by Congress. No pork barrel plan sounds too bad.

Who's left to change this? The media? The Dems? The people?
