Nobody gives a crap about a voter who threatens to withhold his vote if he doesn't get what he wants.

It's my guess that people who put together winning campaigns care quite a bit.

Those voters are known as "Swing Voters."

I disagree; swing voters are the voters who go where they think they'll get the best deal.

The "votes" we're talking about here are out and out "my way or the highway" kinds.

Those swing voters have come to like and trust Bush, actually.Apprehensive in 2000, but relieved he is the POTUS and not Gore.But why all the fuss anyway?It's still along ways off from 2004, and that's a lot of time to be stewing and moaning.I can't fathom why so many here on FR want to get such a headstart on the 2004 race ;that's what disgruntled Dems do, obsess over politics all day long.Plus, when a War is on, it makes each and every peeve just appear that much more trivial, even passionately held beliefs.Bigger fish to fry than the cause du jour.
