"Bush is as innocuous a president in terms of personality that we've had in a long time. But that doesn't matter. He's the symbol of leftist failure, so he's the target of hate. They would rather do that than confront their own failure."

That's a good observation. But the problem Bush has is simple arithmetic: All the Dim candidate has to do is keep the Gore states (which is likely) and pick up one Bush state (which is also likely). I don't like it, but there it is.

Bush may be a one-termer because he has tried to please everyone and has pleased noone.
