Few have budged since the 2000 election, even less since 2004.
The war will have as little effect in 2008 as in either of those elections.
With all due respect, this is exactly the same sort of Pollyanna B.S. that abounded here in the months leading up to the '06 election.
You know, the most recent one where we got our asses kicked.
Then I suggest youre misreading the population that lives between the 2 coasts (this is not 2004 anymore) The average guy is SICK to death with whats going on over there; the same rancid headline day after endless day. He (she) is going to vote for change, even if its the demonic Hitlery, and they feel instant buyer's remorse... BTW, thats no matter what the polls tell you in October '08, because they will be WRONG.
