Al, you should read the article. Essentially, Brooks is saying that the people who voted for Bush believe we are safer now than we were before 9/11 whereas those who voted for Kerry think the opposite. If that is a correct evaluation of the election, then it would not matter who ran from the Dems. inspite of what the Monday morning quarterbacks are saying now. Some people are embarrassed they voted for Bush so, of course, they will say a Biden or Lieberman would have been better. In fact, Bush is their man no matter what. If the margin of victory had been larger, I would agree. But the fact is that Kerry had an honorable but controversial and easily distorted past in Vietnam. His voting record on the Iraq war proved to be a very difficult obstacle. Al

You miss the point. I never said that President Bush was the best candidate Republicans could field to represent me. Few Democrats ever said that Kerry was the best candidate Democrats could field to represent them. Politics is a compromise. More people were concerned with turning over the country to a man with no resolve and no moral / ethical compass than were concerned with leaving in power a man unwilling to compromise his morals or ethics. Can you imagine President Benedict Arnold? It is an abomination to the people who voted with President Bush that people would sell out their principals to vote for Kerry. Voting for a traitor is like voting to subject ourselves without representation to English hegemony!
