Excellent post. Overlooked in the aftermath of Nov. 7 were some of the grass-roots, get-out-the-vote efforts by the NAACP and other organizations. The traditionally disenfranchised throughout the country are, in many cases, beating the Republicans at their own game: registering voters, spreading the word and making sure that the party faithful vote on election day. (Great example: Loretta Sanchez's win over Bob Dornan in California a few years ago.) In many races, hard work overcame the GOP's financial advantage. Perhaps we put too much emphasis on the role money plays in elections. The GOP and Big Business put up huge bucks in the weeks leading up to Nov. 7 to try to defeat an Ohio Supreme Court justice who had sided with the common man and common woman on several key issues over the years. Ohio voters ... including many people who voted for Bush ... said no to the GOP-Big Business smear campaign to try to buy a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court.
