The Urban Archipelago -- A New Democratic Realitynew
It's time for the Democrats to face reality: They are the party of urban America. If the cities elected our president, if urban voters determined the outcome, John F. Kerry would have won by a landslide. Urban voters are the Democratic base.

The State GOP That Governs Humbly, Governs Bestnew

What Happened in Ohio?
The optimistic argument that a big voter turnout would benefit John Kerry was seductive, but George W. Bush's victory in Ohio isn't all that surprising. Anyone who thinks Ohio is a moderate state that suddenly turned conservative red on Nov. 2 hasn’t been paying attention.

I Do Not Concede
Kerry, man, what happened? What happened to the promised armies of lawyers, planes waiting to take them where they’re most needed, etc. etc.? What happened to ‘we’re going to count every vote and every vote will count’?
