New thoughts on why the left can't seem to win an election.

I was reading Andrew Sullivan's blog this morning and he pointed out this article in the NY times.

This quote seems to sum up the article (for me at least)

But the same insularity that caused many liberals to lose touch with the rest of the country now causes them to simplify, misunderstand and condescend to the people who voted for Bush. If you want to understand why Democrats keep losing elections, just listen to some coastal and university town liberals talk about how conformist and intolerant people in Red America are. It makes you wonder: why is it that people who are completely closed-minded talk endlessly about how open-minded they are?

More in a bit.


Addendum: It seems to me that the reasoning in this article is a more better explanation the voter fraud, Diebold promising the election to Bush, or any number of conspiracy theories I have seen floating around since Wednesday. Just a thought.
