Is electability a moot point now?
George Bush's numbers are dropping, and the media sharks appear to be smelling blood in the water. As more revelations come out, even the slobbering whores won't be able to prop up Bush's sunking poll numbers. The air of invincibility surrounding George Bush no longer exists. So doesn't electability seem like a stupid reason to pick a candidate now?

1. Don't forget that BushCo will cheat unless we band together.
We have to have a big enough margin to keep the BFEE from stealing another election.

2. Do not get complacent
Bush used 9/11 to go from sub-50 approval to near-90 approval.

Bush isn't electable, but we need to hammer that point all the way to November.

4. Look, nobody thought GW would even survive to today
before 9/11. Stuff can happen and change everything... That is why the electability argument is BS... It's subjective...
