Running Scared - My favorite passage in this article about how geography may not favor John Kerry's run is this one:

"...Kerry backers said they were pleased that Dean may appear to be his chief rival, believing that the Vermonter's appeal, as measured in exit polls, is concentrated among vehement opponents of the Iraq war and a highly educated liberal elite -- two groups that will be less prominent in states such as South Carolina, Missouri, Arizona and Michigan."

Is the WaPo calling you a hick state, South Carolina? Are you gonna put up with that, Michigan? Are you uneducated, Arizonans? But, I suppose Kerry's strategy of appealing to dumb people is as good as any other. Worked for W, right?
