Poll: Davis in peril, Schwarzenegger strongman
Trauma-san:
Hmmm; I feel that 2004 is when it's going to become the most evident. I don't feel whoever the democratic candidate is will win more than 20% of the electoral votes, and conservatives will hold a strong majority of the senate and house of representatives. Everything is pointing towards this.

Anyone in a normal state of mind should feel otherwise, just by looking at Bush's presidency.
Trauma-san:
Hmmm; You're confusing me. What about Bush's presidency? He's got 2 problems, 1. the economy has been bad since he took office, and 2. the war in Iraq isn't supported by everyone. He's got over a full year to fix those problems, and the economy's already upswung (which is just in time to look good for his campaign)... none of the democrats running against him have any respectable poll numbers, when polled against him, I just don't see it happening.
UnstoppableForce:
Oh, so the economy has been bad since he took office. Not a big deal huh? Shouldn't that be a main priority? Not to him. His main goal is to go to war with as many countries as possible. Why don't we spend our money at home? Education, health care, etc.
Bush is now putting effort into the economy to increase his chances of getting re-elected, but as soon as he does (god forbid), he will just go back to fighting countries and not care about the economy.Then by the time he gets out of office he'll have plenty of oil money waiting for him.
Trauma-san:
Damn, sounds like a plan.
Of course, if he really wanted to do it right, he just wouldn't go to war, since nobody likes it. He must have other motives, then, don't you think? Like doing the right thing?
You're losing site of the issue:
It doesn't matter what Bush does, all that matters is what people vote. The majority of people will vote for Bush, whether you like it or not, that's just how it is... it doesn't matter what kind of job he does as president, it just matters what kind of votes he can turn up in november. This is how things work, unfortunately. The way it is looking now, Bush will easily win the election in 2004; maybe you don't want him to, but the majority of americans are not going to vote one of the democratic candidates in, as it stands.
