Winning elections is the objective. The problem is that it doesn't look like Dubya has the confidence of the american people. He needs that to move his agenda forward. He doesn't have it, his agenda is stillborn. He was made a fool over the Dubai ports deal, for example. He isn't winning right now.

We haven't caught one of the big three terrorists, Bin Laden Zarqawi or Zawahiri, in 4 1/2 years. I have no idea where the conventional wisdom on FR concluded that the capture of one of these three is somehow expected (or likely) in the next 6 months. Pipe dream. It could happen, but it's not a likelihood.

Further, the 10-15 point jump for capturing any one of those guys is more wishful thinking than anything else. What's the baseline? Can you point to the capture of a big terrorist that correlated with a 10-15 point sudden jump in approval? I can't. What makes you think that 10-15 point bump will be sustained (that is, odds are that Dubya's ineptness will continue as it has for the last 9 months and bring that down quickly). You bet with the streak, not against it. FR is betting against the streak. Not wise.

Your thoughts are nice but mostly just wishful thinking, not meaningful analysis, sorry.

You have made up your mind that President Bush is inept and you have made up your mind that the democrats will win the 2006 elections. We shall see, I see totally the opposite.

Remember that all those who proclaimed the death of President Bush politically ended up in their own political grave.

One more thing regarding your tagline, if you are a fan of Michael Savage then you can never be a supporter of President Bush. In my opinion Savage is a loon and I am glad that he is not a Republican.
