He comes from a red state and is the son of a famous kennedy democrat--Birch Bayh. He is attractive and moderate. A Clinton from the mideast with a zipper that works. Given these results it will be hard to go in the Hillary direction. mike |

From their perspective, he should have lost BIG, not won respectably. If Kerry couldn't beat him, they pretty much have to stick with moderates. Hillary need not apply......... |

To: jlallen who wrote (150796) | 11/3/2004 10:33:28 AM | From: michael97123 | | | The pop vote really points out the disconnect between flyover country and the Northeast, Far West and uppermidwest. Most assume dems can never overcome this. I think "new democrats" can win next time. Both parties have to expand their base into the others area. Republicans have the advantage but i would maintain that if the democrats had nominated Dick Gephart instead of kerry, Gephardt would have won enough electoral votes to have won. Next time there will be some new democrats like Bayh in the mix. Mike |
