In 2000, Clark County, Ohio went to Al Gore. This time round, after the local citizenry were targeted by the Guardian to be the beneficiaries of Lady Antonia�s voting advice, and John le Carr�s and Richard Dawkins�s and many others, Clark County went to ...George W. Bush! How about that? Alas for the Republican party, Lady Antonia and her chums never got round to writing to New Jerseyites and Pennsylvanians and Oregonians, or we�d be looking at a Bush landslide. Instead, Republicans had to settle for a little less. But, despite the best efforts of the US media, the Guardian, some even phonier than usual �exit polls�, Bruce Springsteen and �Rock The Vote�, Puff Daddy and the �Vote Or Die� rap-the-vote movement, George Soros and Steve Bing and the million trillion bazillion dollars they poured into Ohio, respected foreign leaders like Yasser Arafat and Kim Jong Il, the Arab street, an attempted �October surprise� by the UN�s Mohammed al-Baradei and the New York Times, and a late intervention by the late Osama bin Laden (which seemed awfully close to �Vote Kerry or die�), it was still a Republican night. You might not have gained that impression from the BBC or even from my friends at the Telegraph, who claimed in Tuesday�s issue to be detecting last-minute swings to John Kerry. But just to run through what happened: in the House of Representatives the Republicans have picked up five seats; in the Senate they�ve picked up at least three, maybe four, including David Vitter winning a Louisiana seat that�s been Democrat since post-Civil War reconstruction; it looks like they�ve knocked off their chief obstructionist in the Democratic caucus. And, oh yes, the most hated man in the world has become the first President since 1988 to win over 50 per cent of the popular vote. In other words, it�s the perfect hat trick: a Republican President, a Republican Senate and a Republican House have been re-elected for the first time since President McKinley and the GOP Congress of 1900. How�d that happen? There was a big increase in turnout, adding something upwards of 15 million people to the polls. We were assured by all the experts that an increase in turnout foreshadowed a Kerry landslide. Why, everyone knows an increase in turnout must be that big youth vote we always hear about, roused by elderly gentlemen like Mr Springsteen playing songs that were hits when their parents were courting into stampeding to the polling booths to vote against a return of the draft and Bush�s intolerance of gay marriage. But, as noted here last week, the �Rock The Vote� crowd didn�t show up for Howard Dean, and they didn�t show up for John Kerry either. They never show up. Or, to be more precise, if they do show up, they�re not a monolithic voting bloc. The Kerry campaign was fantasising if it thought that �young people� trend Democrat in large enough numbers to compensate for all their fraying demographics � blacks, Hispanics, Catholics, rural whites, women, etc. Even with the collapse of the third-party Ralph Nader vote, Senator Kerry could only hold Al Gore�s states with much smaller margins: Gore won Connecticut by 17 points, Kerry by 10; Gore won New Jersey by 16 points, Kerry by 7. The �red� states � the Bush states � got a little bit redder, the �blue� states � Kerry�s � got a bit redder too. So the story of the election is yet another catastrophic night for the Democrats. If the Kerry campaign goes into full legal mode sending the chad-chasers into Ohio, it will be doing so from a much wobblier footing than in 2000; this time, their man lost the popular vote decisively, by four million votes. Legally speaking, you can bring the boys in, but, morally and politically, suing your way into victory is a trickier proposition when your guy�s such a clear-cut loser. At 2.30 on Wednesday morning John Edwards came out to address a demoralised crowd in Boston�s Copley Square, pledging �to make every vote count� � which is Dem code-speak for �lawyers�. But it sounded kinda lame when, vote-count-wise, George W. Bush is likely to beat Ronald Reagan�s 1984 record and wind up with more votes for President than any man in the history of the republic. http://www.spectator.co.uk/article.php?id=5195 Josef Said http://groups.yahoo.com/group/khilafism <center> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/khilafism/join";> <img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/yg/img/ui/join.gif"; border="0" alt="Click here to join khilafism"><br> Click to join khilafism</a> </center> --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
