Regardless, it is FAR too early to start handicapping the election. A million things can, and will, happen between now and then. For one thing, both Afghanistan and Iraq are going to have constitutions, and some public removal of troops is going to occur. For another, you guys need to recall that EVERY TIME the Dems have attacked Bush, it backfires. I think there is a spiritual reason for this, but you are welcome to your own conclusions.
Backfires? Really? How do you explain Bush's ratings plummeting to 50%? Some of these charges, while not sticking to the Pres, ARE in fact tainting his image. He continues to refrain from fighting back at his own (and our) peril. Reticence to engage in combat is why I've dropped support for Cheney as VP, and would love to see Rice there... Frist and Hastert have equally been disasters... Thank God for DeLay and Talk Radio.
