I was pleasantly surprised by last night. And I liked the fact that in exits polls, Dobbs and Democracy ranked 2 & 3 in voter concerns. Inflation was top, clearly, but, 2 & 3 showed that big chunks of the nation's electorate was not as shallow and Fox Prime Time wanted you to think. I am ambivalent at best on abortion, but, I am a full throated supporter on women controlling their medical lives. Abortion was just the thin end of the wedge (as Sir Humphrey would say)...once one type of medical decision is taken from a woman's control, it is not hard to see OTHER medical decisions taken from her control. On another note, people *DO* care about democracy. The quality of government and candidates for office *DOES* matter...whether certain media figures acknowledge that or not.
