Some comments by Kevin Drum
Here. And he's no right-winger.
It seems the leftist playbook this year is going to be "Fun With Statistics."
Face it. The Democratic Party and its buttmonkey brigades in the media and the cultural elite got its ass handed to it on a plate.
After four years of economic problems and a slow recovery, an unpopular war, and the Left throwing every single political brickbat they could at him for four solid years, Bush increased his vote margin in almost every state in the union over the 2000 election results.
But if massaging these fantasies makes you feel like Kerry really won, go for it.
