Wut?

The Libs continue their trip up a certain river in Egypt. Nancy Pelosi sums it up nicely; red-landers voted for Bush because they were uninformed. Yeppers, we simply didn't know all his faults and mistakes...so naturally we didn't hold him responsible.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California contended the Democrats' coming self-examination "is not about soul-searching."

"It may be about how we can educate the American people more clearly on the difference between Democrats and Republicans," she said. "But we know what the soul of the Democratic Party is, and it's about prosperity and community and opportunity and fairness."

Oh, really?...you mean these open and fair Dems?

One can only hope the Dems follow the likes of Ms. Pelosi's in their steady march off the cliffs of moonbatism.

Meanwhile, The Baseball Crank offers an analysis of the new voter, an illustration of the Dems problem...even as they bragged of registering millions of new voters, they couldn't turn them out.

The conventional wisdom was that increased turnout would help Democrats. If this were true, one would expect that, at least in contested states, the marginal voters would break for Kerry - i.e., that when you subtract out the 2000 returns from each side, what's left should lean Kerry. This would be true unless Bush moved so many Gore voters to his column (above and beyond the number of 2000 Bush voters who abandoned him) to negate the benefits of new Kerry-leaning voters. (My own suspicion is that, in general, the people who voted last time and switched sides were close to a wash, although they likely broke for Bush in some places like NJ where he lost decisively last time but closed the gap significantly).

Read it all, the tables offer a much different picture than the Dems proclaimed re-election.
