Without access to any scholarly articles or analysis, I'm going with ideology failure.
What the Democrats and Left think the country wants was clearly not what the country wanted, this time. This is particularly shown by the house and senate races, I think. It's not just R this time. It's overwhelmingly R. I think what needs to be examined more politically would be values, rather than issues alone.

If Kerry would have won, would you have clammed up stated that it's time to "move on"? I doubt it--I suspect you be debating the election and the outcome just like everybody else is. It appears that you are enjoying gloating over the victory of "your guy," despite the fact that he didn't even carry your state. |

I don't think Clinton is relative in this context
Simple fact is, Bill Clinton now holds no water. You look at 41's approval ratings in 1991 during the Iraq war, primo. But once war was over the recession was revealed in all of its crapiness. I don't Bill Clinton would have done much better in this environment. His constant polling and his verbal acrobatics would scare voters now. Clinton served his purpose for the time, a time of relative peace and quiet. Of course, while he was leading trouble was brewing. Sending cruise missles, meeting with Yasser Arafat, and pulling out of Somalia didn't help. Let's face it, Clinton, and any such clone would only work in the 90's period.

Republicans have become the masters of framing issues in misleading light. I bet a significant number of people voting for gay marriage bans thought that the courts were going to force churches to perform gay marriages. A disturbing number of Republicans think we found WMD in Iraq and Saddam was involved in 9-11. The Swift Boat Veterans were treated as a he-said-she-said, despite the fact that absolutely none of the physical or contemporary evidence, or prior statements by many members, supported their accusations. Everybody knows two or three "flip-flops" by Kerry, but massive Bush flip-flops went unmentioned.
Democrats just don't have the media machine, and hopefully they will find a way to be as effective without becoming as deceptive.

Dude, how old are you? From the content of you last few posts I'd guess about 15.
That is an awfully purty, scruff-free, baby-smooth chin up there... |

I'd rather talk about strap-ons and fur-lined handcuffs than Who Voted For Who(m?)
I really would. Let's turn this thread into a raving, slavering, hot sex board! LJ--you go first since you're the nastiest. (you know, "nasty" in a good way)
