At 7:22 you said, " Bush's approval rating is still rising" And at 7:34 you say, " The polls will pick up again within days..." A moron and a liar? Can't you even remember that what you said 12 minutes ago is the opposite of what you're saying now? Here's a little context on the polls for you history lovers: tnr.com MORE NUMBERS: The new Gallup poll records Bush's approval rating at an all-time low of 46%. It's worth remembering that the Bush campaign has long seen job approval as one of the best predictors of victory or defeat for an incumbent president. How does Bush compare to his predecessors? At this point in their losing reelection campaigns, Jimmy Carter was at 43% in the Gallup poll, and George H.W. Bush was at 42%. Their numbers kept sinking right up to Election Day. However, in their winning campaigns, Ronald Reagan was at 54% at this point, and Bill Clinton was at 55%. Neither of them ever dipped below 52% from May onward. Bush is looking less like Reagan and Clinton and more like Carter and Bush 41 every day. Steve Dietrich

Yes the polls will pick up a bit because there are a lot of voters who can't remember past last week. But you know Bush has established a pattern of lies. And every time he gets caught a few more of these people have to eat their votes and admit they were wrong about this worst of all Presidents. Like today on the John Stewart show John made fun of both Bush and Kerry and rightfully so. But then Joseph Wilson came on to talk about how the White house betrayed his wife (and all her informants of course) as a CIA agent. The interesting thing is it was not political, just pure reckless revenge. Revenge which endangers loyal CIA agents and people trying to help America by giving information. It's hard to see how any but the most ignorant right wingers can overlook this betrayal. Giving up a CIA agent is an act only cyberken and his ilk could justify. This is a pattern of petty personal revenge. Bush is loosing the middle and the middle are the electors who have the most power to swing elections.
