November 2nd Most-mortem
Is the new American voter the values voter? And, does this mean anything for our nation?
This morning there is a lot of talk about what this election turned on. Clearly Iraq was a major issue, probably driving many young people to the polls and turning some Republican votes to Democrat. Terrorism seemed to be an issue, but based on Kerry?s strong showing in New York and New Jersey indicates that it may not have been the issue many thought it was. The economy was an issue, though probably only on the margins ? especially among union voters who have suffered from the new globalized economy.
