I just saw on Fox some high ranking Democrat say that due to the recent spate of corporate scandals he sees the Democrats gaining around 40 seats in the house come November. All they need to do, according to him, is keep the stories in the news until then!

What do you think they will be doing come 2004? Whatever people think of the DemocRats one thing is for certain ...they are well versed when it comes to subtle indoctrination. They can use the media to their advantage ....and as long as the White House continues giving them ammo (see post 67 for what i mean) they have a big chance of pulling it through. By stating this i am not a democrat conduit or whatever ...just stating a valid point (and in case Vbthang is reading this ...yes, i think the public is fickle and pliable enough to swallow hook line and sinker what the democrats havce to spin. All the democrats need is a candidate who has more charisma than Mr internet Gore ....think of a Klington character).

And if you think the DemocRats are silly enough to have 'plaster face' Gore run again you are wrong. They are not that stupid!

And again i reiterate ....what happened to George Bush the senior might happen to GW. The senior Bush also had sky high approval points due to the Gulf War, but due to a failing economic scenario as well as an uber-charismatic DemocRat presidential candidate (Bill Klington) he lost the race for his second term! The same can easily happen to GW if the following events happen (or continue to happen) :

1) The economy continues to head down (even though i know all it is doing is adjusting itself most people who lose jobs and lose fortunes will have a very sour taste in their mouths).

2)Another terrorist attack occurs (and as i have said the White House will find it very hard to convince voters they have accomplished much because the simple fact is that most of our victories against global terror will be covert due to reasons of national security. Imagine Bush going in front of a televised debate against a DemocRat candidate and answering a question like this: " We have had victories against terrorism BUT i cannot tell you about them." Many will view it as escapism, especially if another attack takes place).

3) A charismatic DemocRat candidate decides to run against GW, and this candidate is everything Gore was not (think of a Klington clone).

All in all GW and the White House needs to hedge themselves better because currently they are exposing themselves to unnecessary risk.

Sadly you are right in many ways in your speculation. A very popular Kennedy-like John Kerry runs with loads of money. He takes the Democratic nomination, promises corporate reform, an end to corruption and to end the war in 2 years. The sheeple, clueless as ever vote for the Demorats and goodbye Constitution after that. It's a scary thought, and W's advisors are doing him no favors.

The fact that you would pay any attention to that sort of completely impossible remark made by some Liberal shows your predisposition to give energy to rediculousness. An Al Qaeda hit team could walk into Congress and blow away forty Republicans and the Democrats still wouldnt be able to take all of their seats. Between all of the "hype" and "supposing" you have a keen mind but you engage in far to many goose chases. Stick to cold hard facts....you'll get more accomplished.
