5. actually, lincoln dosn't support shrub.

he refused to vote for him he dislikes him so much. unfortunately, he's a new england republican and well respected as a senator. Rhode Island has split our senate seats as long as I can remeber and i doubt it will change.

I like lincoln myself, but I feel it is too important to continue supporting any republican even a moderate that I agree with. Odds are that he'll win again though.

3. 37% of Ohio approves of * I am confident that State was stolen.

Those #'s don't lie and when Walmart is your biggest employer how could he have won that State fair and square. It just didn't happen.

4. 38% approval in Michigan ...

Pretty bad, considering the West side of the state is REALLY conservative ...

6. 2002-Repubs ran on war 2006-we should run AGAINST W

Say it and say it and then say it again. Denounce everything W.

9. Wow, I can't believe Kentucky's numbers! (42% approval)

I'm a Kentuckian, and I thought this state was rock-solid for Bush. Maybe it hurts Bush additionally that our Republican governor is under fire as well.

10. Check out Mississippi's numbers!

Only 49% approve. 47% disapprove. This is MISSISSIPPI!

Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. :bounce:

11. bush and the Repugs are toast when

Texas goes under 50%. I think $3.00 a gallon gas will do that.

12. Why the hell does Idaho suddenly like Bush so much?

And what did he do to piss-off Rhode Island?

If the election were held today, it looks like Bush would lose the following "Red" states that he "won" in '04:
AK
AZ
AR
CO
FL
GA
IA
IO
KS
KT
LA
MS
MO
NE
NV
NM
NC
OH
SC
SD
TN
VA
WV

And it looks like Bush would "pick-up" the following "Blue" states:


Uhm...

Uhm...

None.

Bush's approval rating has not risen to over 50% in ANY of the blue states.

So, Bush loses 23 Red states, wins Zero Blue States.

Let's hope the rest of the Rethugnicans ride out of office on Bush's coattails.
