There's nowhere near the anger at GWB now than there was against Carter in 1979-80. That hatred was something savage. I was surprised somebody didn't try to take a shot at him.
Carter was buried by the Reagan landslide in 1980. The GOP will win handily in November. All they have to do is just hammer the war on terror like a litany, pay some lip service to homeland security, maybe have Dubya land on a carrier or two again, and the GOP majority will emerge intact. The Dems offer nothing in the way of alternative. And everybody knows it.
The Pubbies will win in '08 for the same reason. Hitlery has nowhere near the charm that Bubba had. Bubba could forge coalitions, at least enough to get elected. Hillary either enthralls or alienates everyone she meets. Nobody's going to elect her to any office outside the state of New York.
Some coalition, 43% & 49%, respectively, in '92 & '96. Try Perot for an explanation of how Willie won.
