To a lot of people it looks the President wants to lose. Given the campaign he's been running, I would not be surprised if the American people granted him what they think he wants.
and what people might these be?
In 1992 is dad campaigned like he wanted to lose. As long as I live I will never forget watching CSPAN on Election Day 1992 at around 2:00 P.M. Central Time. They showed President Bush going to Oshman's Sporting Goods in Houston and buying a fishing real.
The message was loud and Clear. "I just got my butt kicked by an Arkansas HillBilly and now I'm going fishing."
I knew it was over then and it was still five hours before the polls closed on the east coast.
He is also President.
I won't be concerned about the campaign until there actually IS an official opponent that he is running against.
Right now Kerry has not even been nominated.
Nobody gives a crap about the election until after the conventions.
Quite a parallel betwen GWB and GHWB when it comes to how he is perceived as not wanting to win. Just my opinion, of course.
That would be the dumb-downed voters and Clinton Conservatives who thought the same thing about Bush-41....to the detriment of all of us. Bush-41 should have been reelected whether he wanted to be or not. It's a voters choice, not a candidates choice. Don't repeat that mistake with Bush-43.
