I just don't understand, and I think that's the problem.

Here are the people I can understand voting for Bush:
-those earning more than $200,000/year who vote with their wallets
-those who are pro-life or homophobic/anti-gay and vote on social issues.

I can't come up with any other reasons. None. Not that make ANY sense to me. And I can't believe that more than 50% of the country can. It, frankly, scares me.

My brother reminds me that the Red Sox did the impossible. And Sox owner John Henry has given the Kerry camp his plane to fly around in. Lets hope it spreads more good luck than Curt Schilling.

BTW I didn't like Curt Schilling much before (that is, I like him pitching, can't stand him talking), but after all this I hate him even more. I know he falls into my description above, but I still hate that he told us so obviously.

I live in a nice liberal bubble. I don't interact with any conservatives on a regular basis. I don't think I talked to anyone yesterday who'd voted for Bush--except perhaps/probably for the republican election judge at the polling place. But I'm about 99% certain no one else at my polling place was voting republican (this could be a stupid assumption, but frankly I have no way to judge, obviously, except by Illinois demographics esp. on the north side of chicago).

Obama 2016.
