An I Told Ya So Post
Read this right now.
John Kerry was not defeated by the religious right. He was beaten by moderates who went -- reluctantly in many cases -- for President Bush. This will be hard for many Democrats to take. It's easier to salve those wounds by demonizing religious conservatives. But in the 2004 election, Democrats left votes on the table that could have created a Kerry majority.At the risk of arrogance, wasn't I making some of these points right here in this forum several days ago? Yes, indeed I was. On a serious note, this is the first really good analysis of why Bush won to come from any other self-avowed liberal. Thank you, Lawrence, for the link. Here's hoping the Democratic establishment can come to grips with what's in this article in the next two years. It would mean a more responsible, intelligent Democratic party. And also a victorious one. |
