Professional AnybodyButBush ideologues probably never believed their 
own hype about George W. Bush -- it was just for the purpose of 
guilt-tripping leftists into voting for John Kerry against their own 
interests.  Before election day, Bob Shrum said in the Washington 
Post: he stood "to earn $5 million on the presidential race, win or 
lose."  Looking only at how much money the Democratic Party, its 
candidates, and allied non-profits raked in, we can see that the 2004 
elections were a Smashing Success for them.

The only losers among players in the Democratic Party camp is 
organized labor and erstwhile Black political brokers.
