>>Bush's position is much weaker than it seems; even in the South, voters are worried about their children leaving college with debts of $50,000 or more and the rank unfairness of American society. The conventional wisdom is that America is polarised along 50/50 lines; it is certainly polarised, but the split is more like 60/40 or even 65/35 - and with the right candidate who can escape the tag of being a wimp because he is not conservative, there is every chance of enlisting that majority.<<

That Englishman does not know what he's talking about. The arrogance of him to write "the rank unfairness of American society." HA! That's the biggest crock any Brit ever mumbled. England was the most class-conscious society in History almost until the present day. Americans are not the President's "subjects."

He's also wrong about war protesters. There are warpros & there are warpros....when a former medal winner returns to slander the reputation of those still fighting & dying on the battlefield....it's a completely different scenario.

You're not a hero when you tar & feather those still fighting, in order to gain personal prominence that will enable a future political career.
