a winning democratic candidate would do well to tap into the anger and resentment of those who lent bush their support after 9/11.

many swing voters, who may or may not have voted for bush in 2000, feel betrayed that bush is not what he claimed to be, nor is he taking the country in a direction they feel comfortable with.
