ChinuSFO, If a long-time registered Repub like me has decided not to vote for Bush, you can be sure independents will be easily convinced to not vote for him as well. Just hope the Dem candidate stays focused on central issues important to both the left & right. If Phyllis Schafly criticizes Pres Bush, you can also be sure many former conservatives are disgusted with Bush Adm mismanagement of illegals, outsourcing, border security issues.

His body count included-- a woman, her baby, a 12 year-old boy, an elderly man and several South Vietnamese soldiers.
