Reply #59: The unions turned up this year. AFAICT, it was much better than 2000 [View All]

They put a lot of money and people into the race, and it's part of the reason Kerry got the second largest number of votes of any candidate ever.

My understanding is that it was suburban women who jumped ship because of the fear mongering. (Incidentally, I read that RW fear-mongering propaganda was very effective in Chile with women. Republicans used a strategy against Kerry that was similar to the strategy fascits used against Allende.)

I'm not so much criticizing Kerry's campaign as I am trying to predict the consequences of playing into divisions Republicans encourage on the left.
