Third thing I know for sure: Democrats cannot cede values to the Republicans. The liberal conventional wisdom that Kerry lost because millions of homophobic, fundamentalist rednecks emerged from thousands of trailer parks to vote for the first time is nonsense. Bush won majorities not just of white men and evangelicals, but of white women, married people, high school and college graduates, couples with children, voters who make above $50,000, people over thirty and weekly churchgoers. The president increased his share of the Latino vote by seven points, the African-American vote by two points and the Jewish vote...
...Play nice. In the first debate, particularly while running an even-though-you-don’t-like-my-record-the-other-guy-will-murder-your-children campaign, President Bush should have known not to cede one of his biggest strengths: likeability.

...along. Brown had been both coach and personnel director in Philadelphia, but in Detroit he was only the coach. "It was very difficult for him to give up that control," says Brown's brother Herb, 67, a Pistons assistant. At the same time, Dumars wasn't about to cede authority, because he had built the team in his own image as a player--tough and selfless. When he became GM in 2000, Dumars brought a team philosophy to Detroit, but he didn't have much of a team to work with. The players he brought in were misfits elsewhere...
