Your analogies to two Presidents who lost because of their performance in office are inapt. Americans in the past 30 years have shown a tendency to throw incumbent Presidents of both parties out of office--starting with Johnson in '68 (whose ouster was assured if he ran again), to Nixon, to Ford, to Carter, to Bush. The only incumbent Presidents to win second terms during the past 25 years are Clinton and Reagan, neither one a hard core conservative in the minds of most Americans. Now, Dole may be a pinko to you, but he was certainly far more moral and conservative than Clinton. If a winning coalition could not be mustered against Clinton in 96, what makes you think GWB will fare any better against Clinton's clone, under practically the same economic and social conditions? You're not telling me that hard core Repubs voted for Clinton in 96, are you?
