The problem, as I see it, was that many voters felt that good old Dubya was a known quantity in this age of terrorism. He was (apparently), tried and tested Three words: My Pet Goat

Maybe it's because of his grassroots support and fundraising in 2004. It took him from nobody to frontrunner (then he went nuts, but that's another story). Now, if he can do the same for the party without going nuts...

How about just drafting them for this war ? If they were assigned to the enemy's side, it would make for an expeditious and honorable conclusion. After all, we need all the help we can get they would use their rich daddies to get out of the fighting (again)

So let me get this straight: Kerry loses one election 51-48 in the popular vote, 286-251* (should be 286-252, but some elector in Minnesota voted for Edwards), and all of the sudden, the Democratic Party is going to disappear? I'm pretty sure they've been through worse (Dukakis?, Mondale?, McGovern?). Please don't make me vomit

Now to use your own words to show ignorance.. You say the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. In the next line you say the gap between the two is closing. Logically that means either the poor are getting richer or the rich are getting poorer. Which is it? You can't have it both ways. <br

If the elections are going to help anything at all, they will have to be free, fair, and frequent. The reasons for the first two are obvious. They will have to be frequent, because right now, candidates are afraid to campaign, the locations of polling places are being kept secret for security reasons, and the only candidate with TV ads is Allawi, backing up the belief that he is an American puppet. Having an election in which people are afraid to vo

Thanks. I was wondering, because sometimes the word extremist has a far-right or far-left connotation. I suppose people can also be moderate extremists, although it does sound a bit oxymoronic. Now let's just wait until this intelligent post is turned into a left vs. right slugfest, complete with sweeping generalizations and a complete and utter lack of civility.

can you define extremism in this context for me? Is it having opinions that fall on the far-left, or a strong dislike of those with different opinions? I am asking because I tend to be on the far-left (at least on the American scale)

Looks like this year the Academy has instead opted to reward works that are less politically charged, or more clearly labelled fictional. hmmm...the Passion also didn't get nominated for any major awards. This could be saying something, but I don't know what...

You could argue it happened to Clinton (I think it was something like 48/46, but still) but what happened when Clinton left office? Actually, Clinton in '96 was more like 49-41-8 and 43-37-19 in '92 (including Perot as the 3rd number)
