...Ronald Reagan tapped into a vein of conservative social populism that changed the G.O.P., and a series of effete intellectual candidacies-from Eugene McCarthy's to John Kerry's-has reflected the Democrats' transformation into a party dominated by well-educated coastal professionals. In the 2004 election, Bush beat Kerry among the white working class by some 24 points...

It was, before Sept. 11, the favorite landing strip for corporate jets flying CEOS in to meet with policymakers. Since Sept. 11, those jets have been forced to use other airports such as Dulles International Airport, more than 20 miles west of downtown Washington...
