That was my overwhelming feeling in 2004. I was just SHOCKED and felt so BETRAYED. I didn't believe that people, in the end, would vote directly against their own economic and global interests in order to hate on gays and abortion - I really didn't believe that that kind of zealotry could win an election. That was the first time I started to get an inkling that there may be more of "them" out there than I thought...it's still hard to get an accurate picture here in the Northeast though. You remember 2004 in Philly - it was like a Kerry rally.
