Excellent editorial by David Brooks. Here are just a few quotes:

The fact is we didn't put forth an unassailable candidate. Even so, 70K votes the other way in Ohio and the outcome is reversed.
If this election proved anything, it proved that GW, previously believed unbeatable in a post 9/11 America, was very vulnerable...a more compelling candidate, like Biden for example, would have had a better chance of defeating bush.

I think the dems squandered a remarkable opportunity to retake the White House.

David Brooks is the much hated token conservative on the NY Times. He and William Safire have to provide the little insight into the truth that the NY Times is able to produce.

Both Republicans and Democrats have much to study about what election results mean for the future of their party. Democrats are arrogant and out of touch. Republicans need to figure out how out of touch they are with the literati.
