I was guessing about the opposite - like 52/48 for Kerry but I guess the evangelical christian nutbags canceled out the "urban" voters in OH and elsewhere.

There was voter fraud as there always is, and it will be interesting to see if anybody bothers to make the security of electronic voting equipment a real issue. This site seems pretty on top of things:

But that the Democrats are now 0-2 against fucking Dubya highlights the simple fact that they have no compelling alternative vision to counter the "values/faith-based" horseshit coming from the other side.

Abandoning their "working man" base and taking on the posture of the Republican Lite party, the Democrats have walked into a trap of their own making. Try as they might to chase the money, they will never be able to match the Republicans at that game.

To present a serious alternative, the Democrats will have to attack head-on the corporate take-over of our government: the regulatory agencies stacked with corporate shills; the "outsourcing" and "privatization" nonsense that continues to reduce the average American's quality of life; the anti-democratic concentration of TV/print media into the hands of fewer and fewer companies.

In the next 4 years the Republicans will overplay their hand like they always do, so the Democrats will have a real opportunity to take a stand and explain to the American people why things are as fucked up as they are and what can be done about it.

Or they can continue to play along while the corporations suck this country dry and drive it into another depression.

Maybe that's what it'll take. Global warming and another dust bowl - though this time filled with idle computer equipmet. Mass unemployment.

Barbarians at the gate.
