The Party That Hates America Loses

Flashback to 1998 and read what Virginia Postrel writes.

First the Dems hated Bush, now an increasingly large part of us/them (can't decide anymore) hate America in general. The Republicans did the same thing in 1998 and lost big. They rallied around Bush in 2000 - a Washington outsider with the message of compassionate conservatism. Whether you believe him or not is a separate issue, I think it's clear anger doesn't win elections.
