No incumbent president has been behind* at this point in the campaign and gone on to win since Harry Truman and Harry Truman ran against a "do nothing congress".... If Bush wants to run against a congress controlled by his own party let him try....
*We know the Simian In Chief is behind. In the next couple of days we will learn how far....
That is, for some strange reason, the only stuff my dog will eat. I don't want to know what is in it. The dog pound has been well endowed with products my dog won't touch.
Do you have a cite for that? I hope you're right. I've heard that a President whose job approval is below 50% hasn't won since Truman, but not that a Pres. who is behind the other candidate doesn't go on to win. I'd love to have a cite for that, to post in a bipartisan forum I post in.
