I understood what you meant. I disagree with it. Bush has his 40% locked up, absent unanticipated missteps by him, or unanticipated brilliance by Kerry. And that base has forces binding it that while not as strong as the nucleus of an atom (no force has been found that is stronger in the universe than that), the binding force is much stronger than gravity.

I think it's important to point out that after eight years of Clinton, his wife and his thugs, that 40% was only able by the skin of it's teeth to get Bush in. Gore actually got more votes. Thank heaven for our founding father's foresight and the electoral college. Now, after four years of Bush essentially abandoning general conservative policy on a number of issues, do you honestly think he will have shored up even more support from the right? The war on terrorism not-withstanding, I'm not convinced of that.

Only by driving conservative policy through to success, could that 40% have been shored up, in fact expanded on. As much as I like some of Bush's war on terrorism, there are a lot of folks out there on our side who are amazed by his lapses in solid anti-terrorist policies. Yasser Arafat and our southern border being two extremely glaring missteps IMO.
