Now it looks like junior is going to get bitten like his Dad, coming back to domestic issues that he bobbles, drops, and ends up having to follow what the house and senate set out for him.
I am still personally thinking that the Bush family legacy will be one term presidents.

i think that the fact that Republicans control the House, Senate and White House will be the biggest factor in a one term presidency. The system is such that it will always gravitate towards a balance of power.
Otherwise, i think that Bushs approval ratings at home and considering that they have remained high since the beginning... through Enron and similar scandals, Economic issues and everything else... to even the Iraq/UN fiasco that he probably will be hard to beat.
i think that more than anything, its just wishful thinking from Opranos only Canadian Liberal Democrat.
the only reason i would vote for Bush again is if i felt there was a threat that needed to be dealt with. I thank God everyday that Al Gore is not President right now.
- North Korea wants to talk and their Nuclear weapons programs are something the world is forced to confront rather than continue to turn a blind eye to as they did for almost 10 years.
- Pakistan proposing to give up their nuclear weapons and arresting terrorists all the time.
- Syria backed down
- Iran backed down and the IAEA is confronting them as well about their possible nuclear weapons programs.
- Saddam Hussein is gone and there is a real chance to build a democracy in a region where it is needed and necessary.
Gore would not have achieved any of that.
Would you care to look at some of your recent predictions about the "bloodiest war in 50 years"... the one that will "probably last through july" and have the Islamic world and Middle East up in arms?
