If there is such a thing as a good election to lose, John Kerry at
least has the consolation that this year's presidential contest almost
certainly fell into that category. It is not just in Iraq that there
is a huge mess to clear up. The economic legacy of the Bush first term
is the worst to be bequeathed by any president since the Second World
War.

'Democrats have yet to convince most Americans that they understand
the threats of the new century'
By Gary Hart
Published : 04 November 2004
While the political scientists pick over the remains, some conclusions
seem obvious. The 2004 US election was almost a re-run of 2000 from
the standpoint of the division of electoral blocs. The reds stayed red
and the blues stayed blue. Second, it is difficult to defeat an
incumbent President and particularly so in time of war. "Don't change
horses in the middle of the stream," goes the mantra. Third, the
Republican Party is solidifying its hold on America's middle class, a
term which embraces both wage-earning blue-collar workers, home
owners, office workers and young professionals.
A Good Dirty Fight

President Bush's relentlessly negative campaign earned him the
ultimate legitimacy - a solid majority of the vote in a high-turnout
election.

GOP Won With Accent On Rural and Traditional
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A23754-2004Nov3.html
By Paul Farhi and James V. Grimaldi, Page A01
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 3 -- By all the conventional yardsticks of Ohio
presidential politics, Sen. John F. Kerry was a smashing success. He
turned out droves of supporters, many of them first-time voters, and
won more votes on Tuesday than any Democrat in state history -- and
more than George W. Bush did in 2000 when he took the state from Al
Gore.
The Day After, Americans Take the Results to Heart

By David Maraniss, Page A01
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Nov. 3 -- At dawn on the day after, America was still
divided, but with a bolder red and a bluer blue. For the record, the
sun did in fact rise on the morning after the Armageddon election. It
rose the same for Democrats, angry and depressed, and Republicans,
relieved and elated; for people who voted for the first time or for
the 12th -- record numbers of them, in any case; for citizens who
waited six hours to cast ballots or who zipped in and out in two
minutes; for those moved by their hatred of the war in Iraq or by
their aversion to same-sex marriage.
Rightward Shift May Squeeze Centrists

Tuesday's Republican sweep of the South will reshape the next Senate,
replacing moderate Democrats sometimes willing to cross party lines
with ardent GOP conservatives who will press their leaders for a more
right-leaning agenda, according to analysts.

Tuesday's election revealed deep cleavages in American society,

As the Democrats began picking up the pieces yesterday after their

By Alan Cooperman, Page A39
Measures banning same-sex marriage passed by wide margins in all 11
states that had them on Tuesday's ballot, in what conservative groups
described yesterday as a sweeping popular rejection of a Massachusetts
court's decision to allow gay marriage in that state.

Much of Electorate Is Traditional Blocs, but Minorities and Youths Are
on Rise
By Guy Gugliotta and Jo Becker, Page A43
Record numbers of voters cast ballots this year, attracted by a clash
of opposites won by President Bush because his Republican campaign
made enough smart moves in critical states to offset Democratic
challenger John F. Kerry's appeal among minority and youth voters,
analysts said yesterday.
