Interesting, considering polls show the exact opposite. And I do mean opposite. Conservatives and Republicans overwhelmingly approve of President Bush.

And what office is President Bush running for in November?

It remains to be seen whether his poll numbers will translate into GOP House and Senate victories this year. Many who are giving the President good marks will still vote Democrat.

If hardliners don't vote GOP, and Bush's strategy fails to take the Senate or even loses the House this year... whose responsibility would that be?

Hmmmm. I believe it's none, though I could be wrong. But considering I was replying directly to Post #8, as outlined in italics, and making no mention of Dubya running for office...

Whoops. Forgot to address your second question.

Ultimately it would fall to the GOP leaders, including President Bush. But that goes back to what I was saying (and Torie on another post) - there is no evidence to support hardliners staying home right now. Quite the contrary, they appear energized by his Presidency. Such energy might explain the incredibly successful fundraising season the GOP is enjoying.

Plenty of worthless assumptions in your posts, Saber.Nice to know you have the pulse of a "large" block of voters.They ALL dial you up to give you the dirt??

You're absolutely right. Whose fault will it be if/when we lose control of the House and make the Senate even worse? In a year that we ABSOLUTELY SHOULD have cleaned up politically.... Reagan would have.
