Mary, I'm more concerned about the rejection of intellectual approaches. Not healthy, IMO. Karl Rove couldn't plan it any better. Democrats by their own admission appeal to the uneducated (non-HS graduates) and to the post-graduate set. Conveniently they do not differentiate on majors or types of degrees. Since you and Karen love to disparage the intellect of those you disagree with - let me fire back - Language and philosophy majors do not have a lock on 'intellectualism', but they might on pseudo-intellectualism :-) Now to cover their defeat Dems argue it must be an anti-intellectual reaction. Even if you buy this argument and believe the exit polls (that dogmatic Christians voted overwhelmingly Republican) disparaging this population is not a sound policy. Obviously they are becoming significant, but they are by no means even the majority of those who voted for Bush. By dismissing all Republican voters as rednecks, anti-intellectual Christians etc, the Dems further alienate the mainstream. And if we are talking about anti-intellectualism - please discuss the cognitive dissidence of the Dean/Moore factions of the Democrats. They are getting as far-out there as the black helicopter crowd. John
