No wonder public opinion polls show Bush can garner only a razor-thin

margin

over any generic Democrat.

Bush hasn't even started to campaign yet.

Tell us all about it in November 2004.


His original point is wretchedly stupid, anyhow. Note his use of
"generic Democrat." Who does the person polled fill in as a "generic
Democrat?"

Andrew Jackson? Harry Truman? FDR?

[****, *I'd* vote for any of these three against Bush - in a heartbeat.]

Trouble is, the Democrats cannot run a hypothetical, perfect candidate
against Bush; they're stuck with Howdy Dean. How does he match up? Ten
points down - a *year* before the election, in the middle of a war, with
a shaky economy only starting to recover, and after about a year of
relentlessly hammering away against the president - before the average
voter has seen a single Bush response.



Bush appeals to the less intelligent in the country--you should be able
to understand that, G-werg.
