Bush will win if two or more of the following occur:
1. Bin Laden Captured
2. Saddam Captured
3. WMD Found
4. 6 Months or More of Improving Economic Indicators

Otherwise he's going to have to rely on black helicopters, etc.

Yes, but certainly choose the issues that the candidate stands for, not the party! You *do* that right? Or do you just pick "D" whenever you see it on a ballat without researching what the person believes in, or stands for, or supports?

His Dad thought that the successful war in Gulf War 1 would carry him thru to the win, unfortunately he forgot that the American people have this bad habit of giving credit to, or blaming, presidents for the economy. Combine that with a handsome looking young buck with the press constantly flashing photos of this new youngster shaking hands with Kennedy in '62 while he was a youth, and add a strong 3rd party candidate, and *poof*, the Clintonista's were born.

I have just one tendency. I don't typically vote for incumbents.

You would be surprised how many republicans are for gun control. They may end up the ones who try to take it away. Don't laugh.

If Bush's approval rating continues on the current slide, it's far from a done deal.

Think it was Eagleburger on CNN that stated that if the election we're tomorrow, Clark would win (according to polls).

Bottom line... too soon to tell.

Skuzzy, we need a :bullship: smilie.

Sandman, you're not so young as to remember that that Nixon had an approval rating in 1971 of only 49% and won in 1972.... that Reagan had an approval rating of 47% in 1983 and won in 1984, that Bush Sr. had an approval rating of 68% in 1991 but lost in 1992, do you think that approval ratings a year in advance have anything to do with the chances of re-election?

as far as Bush goes - I really think the fear of his re-election is preventing a terrorist attack on US soil until 11/04 in hopes a we end up with another weak weenie dem POTUS

Like it prevented 9/11? But you do prove the fear factor.

did you miss the point six? bush was an unkown in as far as what his reaction would be prior to 9/11/01. the previous boss was known as the guy who would launch a dozen brave cruise missles at empty buildings then opt out for a blowjob.

Bush (for better or for worse) is now known as a president who will us the military in massive force to attack awnry countries that support terra.

I hate to rain on your parade, but they don't care who is pres. I guess they didn't know who his dad was huh? Bush unknown? I guess the fear of him being elected will protect our troops in Iraq too.

Yes, poor people, and particularly minorities, tend to vote Democratic. Obviously, this is a generalization, but I think it fairly states the trends of the last 40 years.

Poor people and minorities in urban areas vote democratic.

In Missouri, all the democrats live in counties surrounding Kansas City and St. Louis. If you look at statistics for the state, the rural “poor” communities tend to vote republican.

So… poor, living in cities = looking for hand outs from democrats, poor, living in rural communities = not looking for handouts and vote republican.

Actually if you look at the country county vote between Bush and Gore the republicans appear to live in the rural counties. If you want to tell me that they are the rich, then try driving through Shannon county Missouri where the work consists of a saw mill, Wal-Mart, and a hat factory.

As to whether he will win or not, judging on the alternatives I’ll probably vote for him again. But it’s too soon to tell.
