#1 "They were determined to exploit Iraq finally to bring him down. But their incoherent performance regarding Iraq, so driven by their insatiable hatred of a good and decent man, is serving to bring him back."
Not only that, the polls are conducted by Liberal Dimwit Mavins like Zogby. The Presidents numbers are likely much higher that they are reported.Why? Because the Dems use poll results to establish their strategies, and it makes them invariably prdictable. The Pubbies base their strategies on facts and promises made, giving them a strategic upper hand. Bush is a good man and now the more he is bashed, the more he is burnished, like polished gold or brass. Delightful!

"Many Americans, however weary and impatient they may be about Iraq, are not lying awake at night thinking how much happier they would be with President Kerry or President Gore."
Not only are they not laying awake at night thinking how much happier they would be with a Gore, Kerry , but also a Clinton or a Leiberman. The average American now has learned to see past the wiles of middle road imagery to the hidden left wing agenda of all democrats. The middle roaders will lose big time in the next election cycle. This includes the RINOs. The American voter has seen our President stay the course and will want more of the same. None of the Dems, virtually NONE, have anyone who can fill that bill. The American public are " Thanking their lucky stars they do not have a Gore, Kerry, Billery, or a Leiberman as president, for it would mean the end of US influence in the world, and a resultant devolving economy.
Most Americans are astute enough to know this.
The president needs to groom a Republican Successor: this is rarely done in US politics, but Tom Delay would be one who would make a good president. He is a political genious.
But not DeLay. I like Delay in the House as Majority Leader....maybe as Speaker. The Question then becomes who? Who would be the best man/woman to advance a true conservative agenda? I like Condi Rice, but I don't think she's a true believer. Jack Kemp? I have no idea who it's going to be...but someone needs to step out from the crowd soon.
