1. The SOTU address was a partisan piece of garbage. <nm>

2. Don't look now

But if the turnout on Tuesday is big, like it was in Iowa, Bush is finished. This would show people are ticked at this administration and are ready for a change.

4. While I'd love nothing more...

declaring Bushes end may be a little pre-mature. :)

14. In the same poll, his re-elect number is 43%

Think FAUX will be broadcasting their own results? Maybe once at 4 in the morning.

11. I agree. A strong turnout helps the dems.

I mentioned last Monday that the dems have a reason to get out and "warm up" for the fall GE - to vote in their primary - and this is good! I think any dem who goes to the effort to vote in the primary is virtually certain to get out and vote in November. So if you ask me, we need a GOTV effort now. Not just in the fall.

3. makes sense to me

that speech was a coss (crock of steaming shit) that was recognized for what it was by many of my conservative peers.

6. Yes

it was pretty bad. But I still think it's funny he actually LOST support since Fox's last poll (was 58 percent.)

5. Poll numbers should go lower

If anyone saw Bob Woodward on Countdown talking about how arrogant Cheney is.

9. No, that was Carl Berstein talking, but it was GOOD! nt

15. Senior moment

Thanks,Caledesi. I realized my mistake right after I left the house and couldn't access a computer. Carl was excellent. Bob never would have said that after the book he wrote about Bush*.

10. ahhh, thanks.

Given that 25% of Dems "still" support Bush's job
performance, I say just give 'em time. They've still got 10
months to figure it all out. Bush has got nowhere to go but
down in the long run. Just too many negatives and not enough
positives to turn this around, IMO.

12. I don't get

how 25% of democrats can approve in ANY way, shape or form of bush. How can that possibly be???

13. Those are the ones who have bought into the fear Bush is selling

They believe that Bush is protecting the US against terror. That is why Bush keeps using the "be very afraid" strategy in all his speeches.
