Why Bush Won

As a follow up the Jazz's post below some more post election observations. Bush won because Rove got out the Evangelical Christian vote, in other words Bush won because of the abortion issue. Many, if not most, of those Evangelical Bush voters are hurting and are worried about the situation in Iraq but voted for Bush because it was the "Godly" thing to do. Those of us in the "Reality Based Community" have only one way to combat this, we have to convince the Christian Right that the Theocon Republicans can't deliver their flat earth wingnutery. Maybe then they will vote their best interests.
