"It is Bush's to lose, as it were" NC, ....and in the last few months he is heading in this direction. There needs to be a shakeup among the politicos. They need to reevaluate and try to understand where the malcontent is coming from--not that of left wing dems but by independents and even some republicans. And then the tough part--how to stay on course when the perception out there is that: a. Wall street rally isnt happening on Main St. b. deficits out of control and although not a big deal for bush believers it doesnt play well with small c, conservatives c. tax cuts for the rich--many who make under lets say 125k believe this is the holy grail c. iraq is a quag. Right now dems have traction on these issues. Change of perception will come from success on the ground--more jobs and better iraq PLUS better spin on what is really going on. Bush was coasting because he thought he would have dean to run against. Now Kerry if far more formidable and edwards still lurks as a combination of Jimmy Carter/Bill Clinton. mike
