...Republican victories in the 2002 election were widespread and, in some places, outright shocking. In Massachusetts, 45 percent of voters supported a ballot question that would eliminate the state income tax, cutting $40 billion from the state budget. In Georgia, Democratic Sen. Max Cleland, a widely respected Vietnam veteran, was defeated on the issue of homeland security. In countless other close races—for the senate in Minnesota and Missouri, for the governor’s office in California—Democrats fared very poorly, and in several cases lost contests that were eminently winnable...

What he didn't understand, and why he should use whatever little bit of remaining FTC budget he has left to take his staff to a Eugene O'Neill play, is that people want to be deceived. You don't go to John Edward because you believe, but because it's nice to pretend you believe...
