41. I sorta thought this line was key - sadly enough

"to the horror of his Yankee father, George W. Bush proceeded to run the country exactly like Woodard's description of a Barbadian slavelord. And Barack Obama has done almost nothing to roll this victory back "

It also makes another point, for which I am sometimes derided - that I think that George Bush Sr., for all his faults, had much more class than his son did/does.

Another curious part is. Having defeated the moderates in the GOP, it seems that most moderates are still voting with the GOP. That they would still, for some reason or other, rather vote for a Conservative in the GOP than a moderate in the DP. Otherwise you would expect Democrats to have total electoral domnation. Because we should have picked up a whole bunch of disaffected moderate Republicans. Unless moderate Repiblicans never were a huge part of the GOP, just a semi-dominant part because of their money power. But the GOP still has the money power.
