CNN television analysis asked if the Democrats had lost their church base. Rural, settled America especially seemed to go for Bush more on 'doing the right thing' than chasing the issues. Much of that might have been inevitable as people simply chose to stand behind the incumbant. It has to hurt a candidate running against someone in the white house with all the apparatus of government supporting him.

Further, Bush's campaign was very shrewd to move gay marriages into the mix. I think that increased the turnout of people interested in the status quo.

Still I have to say I'm dissapointed in the election and America. At least the winner also carried the popular vote. Sadly, I think this will legitimate a very bad president.

I hope the Democrats can get back on their feet as a party. I'm curious to see if they made any long term friends who will help them rock the senate & congress control.
