Can we save country from its leaders?

John Edwards is right. There are two Americas, and they don't intersect. They don't even appear to understand each other.

When I woke up on Nov. 3 and switched on the radio, that realization hit me like a ton of bricks.

Contrary to my predictions, we had had a relatively fair election and the American people (or something over half of them) had democratically voted for an extremist Christian regime.

I had the radio tuned to NPR, which was hosting a national call-in show. The first caller was a Bush supporter from Tucson. He expressed his frustration that he didn't have a real choice in presidential candidates and was forced to vote for a candidate whose policies he didn't completely support.

As a progressive, this sounded very familiar to me but the man had said he was a conservative, so I paid attention. Did he want an even more right-wing candidate to vote for (if such can be imagined)?
