The mythical man love month?
Instapundit catalogs the discussion about the mythical "values voter". The media never lets the truth get in the way of a good screed against the red states. It seems it was terrorism and not gay baiting that won it for the Republicans. Not that Jane Smiley will listen. She is convinced that we red state folks are too busy killing gays and beating our wives too realize we are at war. I actually hope this self-delusion continues. I don't like being vilified but the longer the Democrats walk away from the truth of their defeat the longer the Republicans will win.
Kerry lost because (outside of the blue enclaves) arrogant liberal candidates don't play. (note to Kerry: Maybe hiring your team from the losing presidential campaigns of the last 25 years was not a good idea either. Bob Shrum? oh fer.) Kerry was stiff and the more he tried to be a common man, the more awkward he was. "Can I get me a hunting license here?''
On top of that, Edwards was a serious liability.
