Kate O'Beirne What Republicans Knew in 2004

Can't find a link to this opinion piece that appears in today's Burlington Free Press. But she is incisive in her comments on Bush's reelection. If I find a link, I will include it.

Here's an excerpt of her piece and I think a key to why W won:

"Bush enjoys the appeal of authenticity. He is a conviction politician, utterly comfortable with who he is and what he believes. Kerry, meanwhile, tried to shed his party and his past by donning a yellow barn coat and attempting to pass himself off as a fiscal conservative, a defense hawk, a gun aficionado, a faithful Catholic and a proud veteran."
