I don't remember if he specifically said - but I would guess it's a mix of war anxiety / mideast anxiety .... maybe some immigration policy problems ..... maybe some tax & spend repubs have gotten the base angry..........

I don't think the "I Hate Bush" crowd has grown any larger

It may very well happen, as Republican voters are so rightfully disgusted with the "majority" party now, which has caved in on every principle issue, and deserted totally any conservative causes.

The Democrat whack-o base, coupled with the scent of a chance to take over the Congress will enrgize them and carry them to the voting booths, along with all the usual suspects (dead voters, absentee/provisional ballot voters, and the ILLEGAL ALIEN voters).

With the Democrats sensing a win, and that drumbeat every day in the mainstream media that the Democrats are leading in the polls, they will flock to the polling place.

On the other side, Republican voters are disenchanted, frustrated, and see only putting back the same lack-luster incumbent Republican they are stuck with...and they will stay home in numbers.....

LOL, the idiot public wants all the "icky war stuff" off the TV, it makes them feel bla and depressed.

And they know if the Dems are in charge the media only shows sweetness and light.

Only peace and prosperity, no bureaucratic mistakes, no illegals will be discussed, all grrrrreat economic news, any bombs in Iraq will be given very short news and only happy Iraqis will be interviewed.

Yawn, typical Americans.

I think most of us who are sorely disappointed in some things Bush has done don't hate him.

Not at all. And remember, a lot of folks who say they hate Bush don't vote. I know many people in their mid thirties who are very opinionated and vocal against Bush. By son and a niece are two of them. But they don't vote.
