WASHINGTON -- Occasional grumbling by some prominent conservatives about President Bush sometimes overshadows his extremely solid support among stalwart Republicans and conservatives around the country.

Many Republicans and Democrats seem to agree that support by itself does not tilt the 2002 elections toward the GOP. Some, however, say it could offset the gains the party out of the White House -- Democrats, in this case -- historically has made in midterm elections.

Well, he wont get my vote come 2004

So whom, pray tell, will you vote for? On a practical basis, a vote for anybody but Bush is a vote for the Democrats.

I doubt that Bush had his vote in 2000.

That is why the Buchananites and the Phillipians are so vocally PO'd: they hate the fact that they tried to prevent Bush from getting elected...and failed. They have been told, in no uncertain terms, that the Republican Party does not need them to win. And it just sticks in their collective craw.

IMO a vote for Bush is a direct vote for a deomcrat. Got it?

Glad to see TBLSHOW got the article posted again. I appreciate it. To recap information from the previous thread, the pollster Matthew Dowd works for the RNC. I do not believe he is related to Maureen Dowd. There are quite a few Dowd families in this country.

Bush has done so much for the Democrat agenda.
He did more for them than they could have ever done themselves.
Heck, Democrats will vote for Bush in large numbers in 2004! He's their first Democrat- that ran on the Republican ticket- president.
(I'd like to know who the heck their polling, really)
