Some of you may appreciate Bruce Thorton's take on the 04 election. It can be found at Victor Davis Hanson's site:

Fred,

Thanks for the article. I'm really encouraged by his summary statement.

Quote
The President won reelection because he's unashamed to say what he believes and to act on his beliefs. He has a moral center shared by a majority of Americans, who know that this country is and has been a force for good in the world. If there's one conclusion about this election that should hearten us all, it is that our moral center has held, and that despite all the passionate intensity of the worst, the best still have conviction.

I must admit I didn't think that the majority of the citizens in the USA would pass the test of voting on morality issues. However the news media has made it clear that that indeed was the number one factor influencing voters. I'm sure most Christians recognized these differences over issues like abortion, gay marriages, and electing conservative judges to the courts. However I thought we were more of a minority than the vote showed.
