Yeah -- like that would have made all the difference!
Since the Dems won on the theme of change, it may have helped us if he had done so earlier.
Bush can be too stubborn at times.
He is a great guy, but it is true.
I think it would. The moderates and conservatives out there that didn't vote or voted the other way did so solely because Bush refused to admit that they screwed up. Why do we want a leader that turns a blind eye to obvious mismanagement?
Had he resigned before the election then those would have voted R like usual because they didn't feel the need to send Bush a message to change up the leadership who didn't send in enough soldiers.
