I know you do...it seems the ABBies don't.
Nope,they don't.Heck,they don't even care about their own safety,for crying out loud.
More good news bump!
What's all this 'anybody but Bush' noise?
There isn't anybody BUT Bush and everyone on FR knows that; they don't all agree on Greenspan, immigration, or even conduct of the war, but they know he's the candidate and they know [to an accuracy factor of 50%] who he'll be running against.
They also know that the media, Zogby, and most of europe's elite do NOT care about our progress in Afganistan, Iraq, and hopefully the middle east in general. I think a general consensus would say the GWB needs something near epic in order to get his points up with the middle ground voters...
That middle ground is busily convincing itself that the threat has passed, that 'they' will leave us alone if we stop irritating them. That middle ground hears about progress but has nightmares about discomfort. They will tune into the Memorial Day 500 anticipating an explosion rather than another boring IRL race with a patriotc theme.
My second greatest fear is that the middle ground voter is looking for excuses to vote in the candidate who promises a return to what appeared to be a safe 'post cold war' world despite knowing objectively that that world didn't exist and cannot exist.
[Did I mention the Lawyer I work with who decided to vote for Kerry "because Howard Stern had been taken off the air"?]
My first greatest fear is that GWB will not be able to convince them that progress on almost every front should trump their fear of the unknown.
And I still passionately oppose him on immigration.
