Ping. I'm thinking a backlash against Gephart and Daschle, possibly Boxer. On my news, I didn't hear anyone else who was "concerned".

J. Edwards was the delegated fence sitter yesterday in true lawyer-like fashion. The rest of America, frankly, would just like those DEMS off of our tv sets. DEM FATIGUE!!!!!

Meanwhile, the Honorable Vice President Dick Cheney was at a big pubbie dinner and IT WAS NICE TO HEAR ANOTHER VOICE OF REASON. Comments anyone on the backlash theory?

I sure hope there's a backlash. I got an e mail from Vote.com which, in the e mail, framed the question so as to practically demand that one answer that Bush should be shot. They did provide a more reasoned, balanced explanation on the site, and when I voted last night the vote was going heavily pro-Bush 70+ %, I think.

I think you're right, or at any rate, to the extent that this is not going to help the Dems, even if there isn't a major backlash.

I think what's going to happen is that it will all quietly disappear, because the Dems must surely realize that blaming a man who was in office for 9 months makes no sense when the guy who was in office for 8 years left a very clear paper trail of botched handling of terrorism in general, and Islamics in particular. They don't really want that examined too closely, I'm sure.

Their strategy is to hit and run. I think this will go away very quickly, probably not hurting them too badly, but on the other hand, not helping them.

What I wish would happen is that Bush would use it as an excuse to clean out the Clinton-era holdovers in the security services.

I have said from the beginning that there would be a backlash...in talking with regular South Dakotans on the street, I find that they are disgusted with the 'Obstructionist-in-Chief'.

The lady who cut my hair this morning told me that she thought Daschle was just 'in it for himself'.

It would seem that back home, the bloom is coming off the rose.

If anyone is interested in an inside look at how Daschle has stayed in power...by convincing gullible South Dakota Republican voters that he is a 'good guy', and 'for the little guy', here is an old ABC interview with Daschle while he was out and around our beautiful State.

I ask people to examine this issue, in the hope that everyone will have a little talk with their friends and relatives in SD about how badly the Daschle Democrats are hurting our country.

I am definitely hearing a backlash, both for the picture nonsense, Carter's trip, and trying to blame Bush for 9/11 many diehard Democrats are telling me they are discussed and sick of these Democrats all over TV. Some will probably just tune out politics and election. Not a single person was upset with the President.

I think you are right. I've been freeping a lot of pols, and most all seem to be in our favor.

A backlash against gepfart and da$$hole works for me. Frontlash too for that matter.
