"You can't expect to win unless you know why you lose."
- Benjamin Lipson, finance writer
The Scotsman just reported that two more southern states' governorships have fallen to the GOP.
"...the GOP swept both governors' races at stake Tuesday and consolidated party gains in the South. Rep. Ernie Fletcher decisively won in Kentucky, ousting Democrats from power after 32 years."
This gives the Republicans seven of 11 governorships in the South and with Schwarzenneger's victory in California last month, the GOP holds 28 governorships nationwide.
Despite making the Kentucky race a referendum on the president's economic policies, the Democrats were defeated. This should tell them that voters simply aren't buying into the negative attacks and the "everything is Bush's fault" arguments that they are using in their campaigns.
Unless they get smarter very quickly, November, 2004, is going to be a bloodbath for them. They are simply not speaking to the majority of the voting public.

Well said!!! It looks like we share the same interests except for 2! Poker and golf:) I've enjoyed reading your journal. Very informative!
I couldn't agree more! Very well said. What the Democrats are doing is just not working. I had my own personal ax to grind about the negative campaigning this week also. Are we "great minds?"
