    Maybe you were Lee,
           The Republicans I talked to in the runup to the 2000 AD election had
    coalesced around a set of ideas. No one I am aware of running for office in
    the Republican party (all the way back to George, Sr.) had really expressed
    that set of ideas. George Bush had the wit to go in on his first speech to
    the Republican Nominating Convention and express those ideas -- he was on the
    same page of the song book they were singing from.
           It reminds me of the speech by Claudius in the PBS production of "I,
    Claudius." May I paraphrase? "You say I am inarticulate, but I spoke well
    enough to tell my core constituency what I was thinking. You say I lack
    intelligence but I had the wit to tell my core constituency I felt as they
    felt."
