Democrats' mad pursuit of NASCAR dads in 2004 was a flameout. But with Bush fading, they have a chance to win the restless heart of America's stock-car-racing fans.
  • THANK you!

    God, I agree. Last election, I wanted to shake the Democratic Party like a British nanny and shout "Stand for something! ANYTHING!" Instead it's all fuzzy feelings and focus groups and won't tread on anyone's toes and, quite frankly, people *hate* that. The reason Bush captures his voters is he, at least, seems to stand for something (whether we think it's right or not) whereas Dems are so busy explaining and nuancing and "I voted for it before I voted against it"ing that everyone changes the channel.
