COMMENT:

All true, but alas, the Democratic machine chose its death-wish
candidate this time. A gaunt humorless rich guy with a Charles Emerson
Winchester Boston Brahmin accent, who was going to tell the heartland
of American where it had gone wrong. In the nicest possible way, of
course. Clinton got away with that because, although he was smart and
well-educated, he *sounded* --and much of the time acted --like a
hillbilly. JFK didn't and he sounded like Kerry and had similar war
experience, to be sure, but Kerry was no JFK. JFK had a great sense
of self-depreciating humor (I think this came from his being not the
eldest or favorite child, without the eldest child snootiness), and
was much better looking. And his wife wasn't a shrew. Kerry had none
of this, and just couldn't pull it off, no way, no how. In the end,
America told Major Winchester to shove it.

And so we're left with Bush. He is the Dukes of Hazard out of Preppy
stock. He doesn't sound like a yankee, and in America that's worth a
lot. He's born again. He understands oil and money, so the Saudis love
him. He understands baseball and preaching-- all the basic American
rural pastimes. He's a people person and he doesn't talk down to
America. The South and heartland love him. And there you go.

Screw the coasts and the cores of big cities; that's not where anybody
lives but the very wealthy and the totally poor. And they don't
control politics, because the poor have no money, and the wealthy,
collectively, don't have enough either (despite the leftist idea that
you can fund society on taxing the rich). If you disagree with my
analysis, note that Republicans beat Democrats in political donations
this year in every single category of amount, except those over a
million dollars.

SBH

P.S. Stay tuned for Democratic Death Wish 2008, when they pick
Hillary. Watch her attempt to talk to Bush's base, and then shake your
head. Not gunna happen, anymore than in 2000 (when the snootiness was
Gore) or 2004. If parties could do something about their best
candidates destroying each other in Iowa primaries, they might fix
this. Until then, it's going to be one election after another where
both nominated candidates nauseate. Wonder who the nauseating
Republican will be in 2008?
