Post Election Thoughts
Yes, I got up several times during the night Tuesday to see
how things were going. I was watching PBS for a bit but all
I saw was a couple of guys looking at computer screens, watching
the Internet and relaying the info. Maybe they were looking
at something in house though but still, it seems that the
Internet was the place to find the latest info.
A couple of things were interesting that I heard or read.
First, there was a significant amount of women who voted for
Bush compared to the 2000 race. And it appears to be mostly
married women. Why is this? Is it the safety factor? Do
these women feel more secure with the way Bush is going about
dealing with the terrorists? Maybe, but I'm wondering if there's
a Laura Bush factor here. She just exudes character just standing
there. Are married women attracted to her? She is also obviously
not Pro Life. But she supports her husband. Maybe women who
are Pro Choice feel that there are too many abortions and Bush
is the best way to do something about this even though they
don't want to overturn Roe V. Wade.
Also, even this morning on the radio, there appears to be some discussion
from the press and even within the Democratic party concerning why
they can't seem to attract voters who site moral values as a big concern.
Well, it's not your fathers democratic party anymore. It's run by
social radicals and that's pretty obvious. Then you field a guy who
is to the left of Ted Kennedy. Don't you think it's obvious why
you can't attract religious people? But anyway, it's good that
the press are taking note of this.
