Why America Will Vote for George Bush...

...by a foreign columnist...

Poli tracks down a column in the Asia Times by a writer who explains to his compatriots what is surely a surprise to them: that America will vote to re-elect George Bush in November.

The columnist makes too much of the "appearance gap" between Blue and Red States as anyone who has made their way through over-sized bodies in New York City while admiring the latest flower of the South can attest. However, he puts his finger pretty accurately on the difference between Americans' relationship with our government and that of Europeans toward theirs.
