That's what happens when you do all your polling in the Blue States. All I have to say is "How do you fight a law and order war?" Don't forget that the first few months on Bush's watch, his cabinet was still being assembled. If they called me, I would give BJ Clinton 99% of the blame.
Don't forget that the Dems and media cohorts COMPLAINED when Bush started announcing who he would pick for his administration before the court cases had been settled.
They said that it was presumptuous for him to be making such decisions before a conclusion had been made.
