1. Yes the elections are a year away
Problem is there is nothing bush can do or say to turn the situation around in a years time. Social security "reform"? DOA. Terra warnings? A real yawner. Fake a terraist attack? Fool me once ...ya can't get fooled again. Attack Iran or Syria? With what army? Pull out of Iraq? Despite all of bush's tough talk I expect them to do this. But it will just lead to more questions like why couldn't this have been done last year, or why did we even go in there we haven't achieved anything. Tax cut for the wealthy? Been there done that and ther's nothing left to cut. Get enough wackos on the SCOTUS to repeal roe v wade? Never happen in a year probably not at all. Martial law? I don't think the pipsqueak has the cojones to do this and it will cause him major problems with his base particularly if gun control is mentioned. So I see no scenario whereby bush is able to recover from his slide in the polls, and when the repub congressional candidates start to run away from him he's gonna go further down. I think once again the beltway bores have misfired.
