he somehow persuaded enough ppl to vote for him to get re-elected...though he sure as hell didnt persuade me. update....pbeavr it seems to me you're making a vast generalization. yes there are liberals angry that bush was re-elected who make statements like well they're just stupid and dont back up what they're saying but you see people like that in the republican party as well. i personally dont know any liberals that go around thinking they are so much smarter than republicans, they may think that they are right and republicans are wrong but they tend to be able to justify their beliefs with something more than a statement about intelligence.
