The argument was not that all Americans are reactionary republicans just that enough were to tip the balance in favour of a more conservative body politic.

Another thesis is that in the US both rightwing and leftwing politics are coloured with a heavy dose of populism and its attendant reactionary form of politics. I prefer this thesis. As if all Democrat voters are savvy urban hipsters and intellectuals. My Grandma is a committed democrat, but please don't ask about gay marriage (or indeed anything remotely relating to queer), or $ 3:00 coffees and I don't think she has read a book in the last twenty years.

So yah I would think that the Dems have a harder job pitching to the American people overall. Although Kerry should have spent some time selling Ketchup cause he don't got game and that's not the fault of the American electorate.
