If you tried backing up your views or looking at facts, you would see that there is an ever increasing chance that George W. Bush could lose the 2004 Presidential Election to either John Kerry or Howard Dean. More likely Howard Dean, as his polls are going up sharply every month while Bush's ratings are slowly dropping off, last checked at about 51-52%. Bush is only rated positive on his conduct involving the War on Iraq, and a massive amount of the American public feel has has not done his best on the Economy. High war ratings, but low popularity ratings, as well as bad economy, health care, and foreign policy ratings are the same thing that cursed George H.W. Bush to giving up his seat as president.

Most of these poll figures can be found in the Zogby polls, or in various Gallup polls.

thanks for cheering me up

something else that is interesting though is if bush goes to the center, or at least gives the impression of the center (as he will in about a year), and piss off some hard core conservatives one way or the other they would stay home come election time...

after dean wins the nomination those same conservatives will be going out in drones to make sure the 'liberal' (which is a bad word now-a-days) dean and his 'gay' civil unions dont come close to the white house...

my guess a howard dean-wesley clark ticket gives the democrats a great chance for a win...

dont listen to one single group for your information, thats bad, always try to hear all sides of a story then judge

Actually Bush's numbers are going back up. The lowest they were at was 54. It's getting close to 60 again now.

And since the economy is on the rebound (my college fund, a stock portfolio, has gone up 50% in the past 6 months), the fate of this election is sealed.

As far as I see it, there is a decent chance Bush will get his second term, especially since there isn't a strong Democratic presence in the nation's eye right now. Hillary might be the most recognizeable, but I don't think she's ready to run for president at this point.

However, I think there's hope to a degree. With Gray Davis's recall woes in California, it could be the start of re-empowering the American people, especially if the recall is successful. It would send the message to politicians that we're your bosses for your whole term, not just for the months leading up to election day. More importantly, if we don't like the job you're doing, we'll drop kick your ass right out of office.

Just to clarify, I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the Davis recall; but I do think it might make Bush and his cronies reconsider their politics and let them know the public is watching them.

In politics, nothing is sealed until the last ballots are counted. The lowest his public approval rating was, 52%, was right before the Super Hussein Bros. were killed in Iraq, and it has been given the necessary boost, although he had little to actually do with that. However, I'll say it until election night, he's only voted positive in one field, and when that war dries up as it is so rapidly doing, the Bush-Cheney '04 ticket will be forced to bring its eyes back home.

Dear Lord, please allow the Libertarian Party a charismatic and intelligent candidate. Bush is a monkey with a suit on, and Democrats are only out to increase the power of the government so they can bang more interns.

Hell no, I don't want that. Not a bunch of people that will force the American people to remain silent.

Why would you say that? I like Bush, but there are so many that don't, so why would he be re-elected if there are more anti-Bush'ers?

Because there aren't. Most Americans do support Bush. It's just that those who don't tend to be more vocal about it. He's portrayed himself to the masses as a symbol of democracy, and most Americans buy it, even though he didn't give two shits about France's vote in the UN or that Turkey voted not to let us send our military planes through their air space. And Bush has won the support of hardcore Christians through his "crusade" in the Middle East against the heathens. Bush has got the majority behind him. And, if his ratings ever drop too low, he can finally agree to send troops into Liberia to get them back up.

i hope to god that would happen but the libertarian party would have to get five percent of the vote to even be a recognized national party and get funding from the federal government, which without, it is pretty much impossible to win an election.

[karasz]

one time the libertarian party did recieve 5% of the vote but turned down the money because it went against their principles of smaller government

i mean its a noble thing to do but without a wad of cash they will only be powerful at the state level

That would be incredible, but I doubt it. I like their ideology, but Harry Brown just doesn't.... click .....for me. Their domestic policy is superb, but I fear that they'd be isolationist and apathetic in foreign affairs.

Of course, they don't have the money or support to win a major election, so it's all academic. If only Bill Gates could be convinced that they're a new software division of Microsoft and that the Democrats and Republicans were third-party competitors....

[Superfuck2002]

Its true, as much as I hate him the American public is so full of shit I expect to see him re-elected.

[Xavierhitman]

Bush Shouldn't be re-elected.
It would be a waste of tax dollars.

Well all we can do is to see what happens in the next upcoming election and see what the public, the country decide who should lead our country for another 4 years. I hope it will be a better election and much more smarter comparison to the Bush and Gore election. It better be fair and equal......

The election in 2000 was far and equal, it's just that it was a mix of Al Gore not wanting to give up and George W. Bush having Florida and the Supreme Court stacked in his favor. Some things, no matter how hard, you just have to admit you have lost at. Al Gore lost the 2000 election, and Bush will lose the 2004 election. At least that's my ill perspective.

Well it just puzzles me so that the missing votes were not combined when they were suppose to be and such. If it was so fair why was it some interesting to know that things happen in the same state as his brother governs, Well i hope things didnt happen as such and it was fair but alot of clues and unresolved issues have not been concluded........Hmmm makes me wonder though, he just might not win the 2004 election so he better do good while he is in there........

[JMHX]

By "Do Good," do you mean failing to capture the leader of the nation we invaded without provocation but putting spin on the story so that it looks like we're just about to?

I've heard "missed him by hours" so many times this week it's going to make my brain burst.

[JGal21189]

Well, if he can't do anything about this war and if he doesn't do anything about the economy he is totally fucked for the election. If he does liberate Iraq and help out the economy then he might be successful in winning again.

The economy has gone up this last quarter, but with the $4 billion per month we're spending on our "good work" in Iraq, and the general feeling that Bush has no concern for the homeland, his chances for being re-elected are slowly slipping.

You forgot about utter failure in the effort to capture Osama and then turning around and not being able to grab Hussein (as you did point out in an earlier port). Alienating everyone in the country who isn't white, male, and christian probably isn't endearing him to many voters, either.
