Once the election results came in, I quickly thought of John Edwards’ description of the “two Americas” during this year’s primary campaign. This time around, though, the two Americas weren’t rich and poor, but rather red and blue. More specifically, they were the social conservatives whose high turnout appears to have accounted for much of Bush’s margin and those of us who have a completely different view of what this country should be.

Frank Boosman pointed out a New York Times column by Thomas Friedman entitled “Two Nations Under God” that sums up my thoughts much better than I could phrase them on my own.
