'We Shall See the Reign of Witches Pass Over'new
Hidden somewhere in the results of the Nov. 2 election, there is an ocean of hope. If, for example, only 18- to 29-year-olds had voted, many of George Bush's red states would have been swamped by blue ink, and John Kerry would have won the Electoral College 375-163.

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.

Kerry Is a Worthy Choice to Succeed the Dangerous Bushnew
An unconventional liberal, John Kerry has gone against the grain by supporting balanced budgets and welfare reform, by re-examining the way affirmative action functions, and by establishing himself as one of the Senate’s leading experts on terrorism long before 9/11.
