Interesting email that Sullivan quotes from his mailbox. I think that for everyone pushed to the left by Bush's style/fp, there will be someone reacting like the woman described in this email. I suspect even more than one.

"Whatever happened to the gender gap? I've always thought of my sister as a classic Democrat. Pro-abortion, actually cares about the poor and thinks that government aid is a good thing (Ah!) Voted for Clinton twice.

Problem for the Democrats is that she used to work on the 102nd floor of the World Trade center (North-south-I forget-It doesn't matter, really-no one made it down from either) She left that job in 2000, but a lot of her friends and coworkers didn't.

Needless to say, I haven't heard her complain once about Bush, and definitely said "Thank God Gore lost"
She left her six-figure job to become a teacher (classic idealism). She discovered that the Democratic education machine seems to value bureaucratic jobs a lot more than results. When Edison took over her Philadelphia school, she was all for it.

I think she will vote Republican this time. I don't know if its a national trend, but it may explain some of these numbers."
