13. Personally, I say it's readers vs. non-readers.

Seriously. Those of us who read, those of us who stay informed, those of us who get news online or from print sources, voted for Kerry by a significant margin. Those who get most of what they know about the world from TV voted for * by a wide margin. The big, wide rural areas of the US use TV as their principal source of national and international news. The urban areas have newspapers, national-scope magazines, and their citizens must interact with persons from foreign countries such that the discourse is vastly more informed. Fact is, the right wing controls TV and, for the most part, radio too. We on the left need 2 or 3 complete, liberal, TV networks with 24 hour news stations (like FOX) before we will be able to compete with the Republican propaganda machine. The truth is on our side, but the truth is not enough any more.
