Who do you think the Dems could put up against Bush and win today?
Who in 2004?
If they don't run the finest smear campaign in history, they don't stand a chance ... unless they have their free cigs, booze and buses ready to drag every bum to vote as they tell them to
Today? Probably no one. Bush is still riding the wave of the "war on terrorism." I expect that it will lose it's luster in the next couple of years and his approval rating will slide accordingly when the majority of the voters in this country (you know, the ones that didn't vote for him) remember why they didn't vote for him in the first place.
Who in 2004? Too soon to tell. Hell... Two years into Bush Sr's term, Clinton still hadn't entered the radar, IIRC.
I don't believe this war has given Bush a slam dunk into a second term... that is... unless he can keep it going for a few more years. Then again... staying at war might not be a good way to get re-elected either.
