yes, maybe he could have. But when holding onto power becomes your prime objective, then you aren't thinking about others. You are only thinking about yourself. Power has gone to the Bush administration's head and we're seeing the results of that.

BTW, I spoke with my mom, Dad, and brother after the elections. We all have been die-hard Republicans all my life. Every one of my family members said the same thing: I hope this sends the Republicans a message. You can't do what you want when you are in power. You have to do what the people want...at least in America. Made me feel good, because I know that our Democracy is still strong and that we still have THINKING Americans on both sides of the aisle, not blind and deaf sheep who follow others to the slaughter. As long as we have that, then all of our problems can be solved.

"How about if Bush would have fired Rumsfeld 6 months ago, Declared victory and announced a pull out plan for Iraq. Maybe he could have salvaged the republicans."

They wouldn't have gotten drubbed nearly as badly. Moving away from "stay the course" was the right thing, but too late. Talking about letting the net president decide was his worst mistake.
