I'm Back!!!
Due to a change in jobs, I was out of commission for a while trying to locate my password. I can't believe how much has happened since I last blogged...And that was just FRIDAY!!!
I haven't got too much time today, so I'll borrow some of my own comments from Federal Review (hosted by the always entertaining Winston) to let you know how I'm feeling.
It's great to see John Kerry taking a commanding lead in the Democratic primaries. It is by no means over, Edwards still looks strong if he can win VA and/or TN.
Given the fact that a few polls have George Bush at the lowest approval ratings of his term, and a few are even showing Kerry with a fairly substantial lead against our flight-suited leader, I got to thinking about the direction this election season will probably go.
Barring another terrorist attack or another war, Bush's popularity will only continue to plummet. It always does. Even the bounce from capturing Saddam was short-lived.
Now he has to deal w/ a record deficit he did nothing to stop, increased scrutiny and an investigation into pre-war WMD intelligence, and the 9/11 Commission's report (which Republicans are afraid will be hugely damaging) has just been moved 2 months closer to the election.
It's nice to have the war chest of close to $200 million, but if all people see are Rovian commercials about what a great leader Bush is, followed up by the nightly news talking about his latest failure, the message won't resonate, and he'll be exposed...
