...left-field victory of ?Fahrenheit? told moviegoers that a non-fiction film could make them laugh and cry. It also energized the documentary community, which is reflexively and almost unanimously left-wing. (To my knowledge, there is simply no right-wing political documentary, unless you count ?Triumph of the Will,? Leni Riefenstahl?s hypnotic record of the Sixth Nazi Congress.) Moore had given the film industry?s poor, scrappy cousins a shot at the movie mainstream...
Second only to the satisfaction of the resounding Republican triumph has been watching the media attempt to figure out what happened. If Democrats really want to understand the red states, they need to talk less and listen more, judge less and learn more.

Consider for a moment the tremendous triumph of democratic deliberation that is subsumed in the opt-out option: A majority rules, and the rights of the minority to disagree with that rule are actually respected. That’s a compromise that would have pleased Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. It combines a free-market mechanism any conservative can embrace with an inherent toleration any liberal can love...
