The title should be, It's my Party Too, and I'll cry if I want to (because I got fired).

Given the lost election, exactly why are liberals on the attack with such vehemence against the president? You'd think they'd pause to catch their breath and consider their errors.

1. Their socialist agenda is threatened by the success of elections in Iraq. The ba'athists were socialists; Saddam was a socialist; and Ramsey Clark, a socialist, taking up Saddam's banner, is evidence that they are in terror of another major defeat for world socialism.

2. Jeb Bush -- They fear that Bush name and MUST besmirch it before George leaves office. It doesn't matter when Jeb will run for president -- 2008, 12, 16 -- but they know he will run. Expect some hefty attacks on Florida these next few years.

3. George Bush is still young. While a young Clinton is content to fritter his time away, Pres. Bush is a doer. I've no idea which direction W will go, but it worries the dems. In their minds, better to wound him if they can.

4. The 2006 the Senate is up for a filibuster proof majority on the part of the Republicans. Despite having just proven that a 2 year long campaign didn't do a bit of good, the dems apparently are going to keep snorting political methadrine and downing campaign no-doze. This will backfire (again) and is good for the pubbies....America is tired of non-stop campaigning. They will punish anyone who makes them put up with this crap much longer.

"Whitman charges on Page 3 that Bush's three-percentage-point margin in the popular vote is the lowest of any incumbent president ever to win reelection."

That can be explained by the fact that the liberal idiots were right. Massive fraud, and President Bush's loss was actually foretold on the Sunday before the election...I mean, c'mon!! THE REDSKINS LOST AT HOME! /sarcasm

President Bush should expect books like this as long as he continues to appoint RINOs and Clinton demorats to positions of power.

Whitman charges on Page 3 that Bush's three-percentage-point margin in the popular vote is the lowest of any incumbent president ever to win reelection, the WASHINGTON POST reports in coming editions, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

In 1996, William Jefferson Clinton received 47,401,898 votes (49.2%). In 2004 George Walker Bush received 60,645,844 votes (51%). I'm sure any writer can manipulate numbers to fashion an incisive quote, but Bush received a greater percentage of the popular vote than any Democrat president (except FDR and LBJ) in any election since 1856.

No, I'm not going to buy the book. I refuse to read any book that's never been read by it's "author".

The numbers show that while the president certainly did energize his political base, the red state/blue state map changed barely at all, suggesting that he had missed an opportunity to significantly broaden his support in the most populous areas of the country," Whitman writes.

Well, it's kind of hard when you have a liberal MSM that took unprecedented steps to unseat a president. The liberal MSM was unmerciful with its' bashing of Bush 24/7 and simply refusing to go after Kerry.

"The Karl Rove strategy to focus so rigorously on the narrow conservative base won the day, but we must ask at what price to governing and at what risk to the future of the party."

She's buying into the "Moral Values" in the exit polls. Naturally, she ignores that Rove was going after the middle/swing voters with national security and the war on terror.

This is just sour grapes. Her political career is over -- even in New Jersey. She's got nothing to do but gripe that her tenure at the helm of New Jersey was nothing remarkable.

Let's see...the last office she was elected to was....? When?.....

Her last great achievement as a cabinet member was.....?

Looks like someone who was given a great opportunity by a truly great President just showed her true colors. Another loser whining about what's wrong....And she thinks that somebody is going to pay money to read that? You can get that for free from the MSM--why pay for it?

What does she mean by forgetting the middle? Bush is a liberal.

If Mrs. Whitman hadn't inherited wealth, would anyone know who she was?

Factually, this is undisputably true. However, she, as well as many others who point this out, are acting as if this number happened in a vaccuum when it didn't, and if all things were equal, when it wasn't. Figuratively, the victory is much biggger than the number indicates:

Bush is the 1st and only president ever to win re-election despite losing the popular vote the 1st time around.

He is the only other incumbent (besides Truman) in the age of polling to win re-election despite falling behind most of the year.

He won despite having the worst media coverage of a gop presidential candidate in decades.

He won despite the "Herbert Hoover" economy.

He won despite the Iraq "Vietnam" quagmire.

He won despite supposedly having "lost" ALL three debates (truth be told, it was just the 1st).

He won despite the democrats outspending the gop this cycle.

He won despite the most massive (anti-Bush) voter mobilization.

Plus he had the very vocal Hollywood industry gunning for him and MTV's very effective draft lie-mongering. If the media treatment had been exactly equalled and if Bush didn't have his (whether perceived or real) electoral drawbacks, it would have been a wipeout. With all that he had to work with, even with his own liabilities, Kerry still COULDN'T win--what a total clod.

The Karl Rove strategy to focus so rigorously on the narrow conservative base

If it's so narrow, how come we won AND made gains in the House and Senate?

I've been saying this to myself a lot lately: The Lib-Dems are killing themselves (politically) it's up to us to take out the Rinos. They are as big as enemy as the Dems. A good start would be McCain, then work our way down.

Does she write about her embarrassing faux pas while she was Governor? You know, the night she went out on patrol with the Troopers and had her picture taken while pat frisking a black perp? If her judgment was that bad as a Governor, how can it be any better as a has-been cabinet member?

Whitman details her many scars and frustrations in dealing with what she calls the "antiregulatory lobbyists and extreme antigovernment ideologues" that she suggests hold too much sway over the Republican party.

Excellent! This is very encouraging!
As far as the used-up-and-discarded Whitman, no, the GOP is not your party. Your party is called the Democrat Party USA and I'm sure they would love your help pushing Eurpean-style secular socialism down America's throat. You better hurry though, Christie - - your new party is shrinking like crazy.
Now just go away.
