You have to hand it to the Republicans they sure know their demography far better, they also package and sell their product far better than the Democrats.
If the Dems evar want to win they need talent like Rove and Cheney pulling the strings.
That said, this is probably the best thing that will ever happen to Kerry's political career, not inheriting the situtation in Iraq/Iran/NK and the deficit. I figure he has a somewhat hidden inner smile happening now.
The only crappy outcome, that ghey pork barrel missile defence program that they are hinting at us to spend dough on.
