DrDeb, awesome post. Thanks for shifting the light back on reality.
The public paying attention or not....History is a window to the future in most cases (not all...I know)...and the fact remains...we can talk ourselves in circles about why bad polling numbers don't really matter...and no one is paying attention...blah, blah, blah...
But also remember...nothing is more complex then avoiding the obvious.....And the obvious situation is the GWB camp is running a terrible reelection campaign.
