Ted, re: Maybe because you live in FLA which is located in a conservative region of the country, you feel less uncomfortable with the predominance of a strong conservative ideology but I am not. Florida is split down the middle, as evidenced by the Pres election. There is no doubt that the wacko right has been emboldened recently. Still, if you look at the political distribution of real people, I think you would see a bell curve chart, with the vast majority towards the middle, thinking of themselves as moderately liberal or conservative, democrat or republican. The far right or left make much more noise, so they appear to be a bigger group. Bush got elected because he ran as a harmless, moderate, compassionate, consensus building conservative. He turned out to be anything but those things, so I don't see him getting reelected unless the Dem's really, really blow it. The candidate that is closest to the middle wins. John
