<Aides say he wants to act as counter to Bush, and possibly run in 2008.> Senator Kerry won the coasts, President Bush won the rest, that part of the US referred to by those on the coasts as "flyover country". The people of "middle America" are aware that they are sneered at by the "intelligentsia", and hold them in very well earned contempt. The "coasters" are wringing their hands at the prospect that the "middle Americans" have had enough of being socially manipulated for their own good. The tragic farce of the situation is that both sides delude themselves while the quest for power OVER their lives and freedoms goes on unabated and unchecked. The intelligentsia's version of "morality" is the forcible re-distribution of wealth from those who have earned it to those who haven't, with themselves being the ones doing the re-distributing. Middle America's version of "morality" is the act of ignoring the most blatant of lies and the most venal of actions while "priding" themselves on their opposition to such things as homosexual marriage and a woman's right to control her own body. Strip away the rhetoric and the manner of dress and there isn't a hell of a lot of difference.
