Coz,

Re: . People need something to hope for to go vote. I'm not sure that dislike or distrust is enough of a motivation for the public to get out to the polls amd make a change happen.

Franklin Roosevelt understood politics pretty well. His view is diametrically opposed to yours. He said: "There is no group in America that can withstand the force of an aroused public opinion."

Bush got marked up by 24% of the registered voters in 2000 largely because the Right was so angry about the moral turpitude of Bill Clinton.

Now that the tables have turned, and the Right is beginning to sense that it is being betrayed by Bush, we'll see a different election.

Today, it is the Left that is aroused.
