45. It does depend on the listeners.
As of now, they're still listening to the media.

But what happens after people hear that Greenspan said we have to cut social security benefits to cut deficits -- how many of them will wonder if stopping the war/occupation is maybe a better alternative?

What happens if news starts leaking out that the evidence to prove Iraq was no threat was known to bush, and all the IWR voters as well?

What happens after the Patriot Act is not allowed to 'sunset'? Will those that voted for it the first time now have the courage (in numbers only) to vote against renewing it? Allowing bush another opening to label them as wafflers (liked it then, don't now)?

Every news cycle is a very long time. There are many days before the nomination.

How many more Americans will decide that enough dying for privatized Iraqi resources is not worth it?
