Andrew Sullivan no lefty "say's Bush in deep trouble"
BUSH IS IN DEEP TROUBLE...Bush is in the Rove-Cheney cocoon right now. From the SOTU, it looks like he's going to run on 9/11. Bad, backward-looking idea. His coalition is fracturing; his reach out to Hispanics seems to have hurt him more with the base than won him new votes; his spending has independents deeply concerned; Iraq is still a wild card; prescription drugs pandering hasn't swayed any seniors; the religious right wants him to attack gay couples in the Constitution - which will lose him the center. More worrying: I'm not sure he even knows he's in trouble.

6. No, Sullivan is not left at all, but
he is gay and quite concerned about the fundies! He also tends to be libertarian right as much as republican right.

13. yes, my favorite out of that piece
These practices serve an incurious, entitled, callow, Unelected Fraud who believes public service is about playing dress-up in cowboy and pilot outfits just fine, but they are unprecedented, bizarre, and extremely unhealthy for America.

10. He's stealing my bit!
Seriously:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/plaidder/04/09.html

The fact that AS thinks that immigration thing was 'reaching out' to Hispanics is more proof of his own delusions, but when AS can see the writing on the wall and you can't, man, you're in BIG trouble.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

12. thanks, I got it to work
It must have been busy because everyone was reading it at the same time. Interesting article - I think Sullivan sort of states the obvious, at least to me that is!

14. He will always have Diebold
Bush is so isolated from reality (doesn't read newspapers, for example) that he has to rely on advisers only about what to do (that, and he's dumb and disinterested as a brick). His State of the Union was a total disconnect. Without right wing radio, columnists and Faux News, he would be nothing. The effort that will be put forth will be twofold: 1. Scare the crap out of the American people 2. Rig the election to take no chances. We must counter both; especially the second, which gives people no choice at all. It will be rigged; will it be enough?
