I'm watching the Daily Show, and they've got some jackass talking about "moderates" and "centrists" winning elections to return America to sanity. His role models? Truman and Kennedy were mentioned - the two presidents to win the narrowest mandates of the 20th century.
Up next - winning elections by losing!

I really hate it when people treat electral outcomes that were so close they're just about as meaningful as statistical coin flips as if they're inevitable. There is a lot of this "hindsight" going in with Kerry now. How his campaign messed up. How he couldn't have won because of X, Y and Z.
OK, so his campaign was a bit lame. But the pundits should remember that he came pretty damn close to unseating a president in wartime AND relative economic prosperity. Nothing to sniff at.
