Bush, on the other hand, is not a conservative in action, other than the tax cut, unless you were to admit that today's liberals are different from the old school and are too cowardly to defend the nation, at which time you may also credit Bush with the War on Terror. After that, Bush is no conservative, but he is still a right-winger.

I'm not telling you why one candidate is better.
I'm telling you that the demographics will favor bush.
Last night I saw Tim Russert get out the little dry-erase board of his and do the math. In 2000, Bush got like 272 electoral votes. Russert was explaining that even with no changes in which states vote rep and dem, Bush's count in November would be something like 280 votes.
What I am saying is that most people are failing to notice the support the republican party continues to pick up among hispanics and working-class districts that have always been thought of as solid democrats.
I don't think most pollsters have a good measure of America's pulse. Honestly, they unintentionally skew their numbers by polling upper/middle class whites, who tend to be bastions of democrat support.

The "quagmire in Iraq" is only a quagmire if you expected it to happen quickly in the first place. Anyone who thought that rebuilding and democratizing Iraq would happen in less than 5 years is IMHO a fool.
The dems are scary
