All he needs to say Monday is that he is ordering 50,000 national guard troops to the border to patrol and start the assembly of a 1,000 mile wall. His poll numbers would go from 29/34% to 49/55% overnight. Bush will never see 60% ever again...too many people have it out for him and his other agendas. But he could get a tremendous spike and I think the way PR is gonna be handled in the WH with Snow now...the new ballgame begins on Monday.
"All he needs to say Monday is that he is ordering 50,000 national guard troops to the border to patrol and start the assembly of a 1,000 mile wall."
The operative word is "ordering"; not considering, not investigating, not consulting with congress, not looking into, BUT ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING.
He'll "promise" more. He'll not explain anything about the amnesty, adding 1,000,000 green cards per year, etc.
He's bargaining with the people. He'll give us border security if we deflate the wages of the middle and lower classes.
It's a policy decision on his part. Selling it is tough, so the numbers aren't stated.
