More cattle, less hat

Maybe we can stop worrying just a little. First Bush lost the WalMart women. That's a heavy blow for the GOP. But now it seems, he's also lost the Beauty Parlor moms and that could be the death knell for GOP power for the foreseeable future.

The thought of living through two more years of Bush generates only "a deep fatigue with the direction of the country." More interestingly, although this sample group is almost unanimously disgusted with Bush, they still don't regret voting against Kerry. The vote they rue is in 2000. Gore has risen in their minds as a symbol of a time when politics and politicians was more than just partisan sniping and empty sloganeering. In other words, they now wish Bush had never been president.

This strikes me as a refreshing change. I think there's hope for us yet.
