Thoughts about
Bush's recent gains in the polls
Bush and Kerry are in a very tight race, even a statistical tie, but recent polls have Bush gaining momentum and pulling ahead.
On this I say to Bush: $50 million down the toilet in advertising (less than a third of his war chest however); the lofty mantle of a "war president"; formerly enjoyed a 90% approval rating; all the benefits of incumbency; two years of your party's control of the White House and the Congress... and all you got to show for it is a couple of percentage points in some polls???
On this I say to Kerry you've got in your opponent: an illegitimate war that is going badly; an out of control deficit; you're a war hero, he's a deserter; lost international prestige; piles of dead soldiers; not one, not two but now three books (Suskind, Clarke, Woodward) highlighting the political and economic lies of this administration; a bogus Medicare plan; a rubbish environmental record... and all you've got to show for it are a couple of percentage points lost in some polls????
