The first myth: Many more churchgoing voters flocked to the polls this year

An interesting analysis from the WaPo


[...]

The GOP put on a strong mobilization effort, but that's not what tipped the Ohio election. They did not turn Gore voters into Bush voters by offering a ride to the polls. Instead, it was skillful exploitation of public concern over terrorism by the Bush team -- coupled with Democrats' inability to draw clear, powerful contrasts on the economy and health care -- that pushed Bush over the finish line.

Myths:

Myth #1: That there are terrorists threatening the US. If there were terrorists, they would have struck. We have a war on terror, but its like those oooh's and ahhhh's coming from your room mates room: it's his own hand that he's getting such great attention from.

Myth #2: That Bush actually won Ohio: there will be a recount. Voting should be at least as reliable as shopping. Do it over 'till you do it right.
