To me, it's not about the intelligence of so-called "red state voters," but more about their mere numbers.

This is off topic, I know, but look at the Senate. Republicans hold a 55 to 44 edge, with one independent. But those 44 Democratic senators represent more people than do the 55 Republicans.

That can be the nature of the Senate, so I'm not proposing an overhaul of any kind. But I really wish that Frist and the GOP leadership would keep that in mind when they propose their agenda, at least in the Senate. They are a majority by seats only.
