Look up Bush's approval ratings in the aftermath of Gulf War I.
Remember? Rush Limbaugh coined the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid" and had someone from his show passing out Grape Kool-Aid at the DNC that year, because common wisdom was that Bush was so far ahead, the DNC didn't have a prayer.
And remember who won?
All the big Dem names sat out, so Billy Blowjob Clinton was nominated as a kind of sacrificial lamb.
Ooops.
Because Bush was in office AND had 100% name recognition.
You've been refudiated.
And PWN3D.
Troll.
Cheers!
But, his approval rating really was 90% at the point. The poll wasn't wrong.
The polls are just as real for Palin and she has to change the negative perception if she runs. She starts out in massive hole no other candidate, expect perhaps Newt Gingrich, starts out in.
And, your response to all that is name-calling because you have an aversion to reality.
