Don't forget the other coast too.

The funny thing about your post is that it mirrors what I've been told are 
the sentiments of the "heartland" and the South.  They feel denigrated by 
the superior-minded intellectuals who scoff at their corny values.  There is 
a deep divide at work (being well used by Rove & Co.), but don't forget that 
a swing state is just that.  There is a middle, and there is a place for 
common ground.  And don't forget: It was a VERY close election, so only a 
little movement is necesary to regain control.  But it'll have to be by 
attracting, not dividing.  Dividing is their tool.
