Then he left the school and invaded two countries, cleaning out a sick theocracy (the taliban) and an even sicker dictatorship (Saddam) in the process.

As incompetent as he is, he still has the world swinging from his nuts right about now. I think the left dislikes Bush more than the right disliked Clinton. Clinton would cave if it looked like the public wanted it a certain way. W flat doesn't give a rat's ass what the public wants. I think the Iron Lady said it best - consensus is the absence of leadership. W's not looking for a worldwide agreement, he's looking to kill as many terrorists as possible.

Once again I ask, if he's such an idiot, why can't the left beat him down? From the time he decided to become governor of Texas, he's won at everything he's tried. Ann Richards was the absolute darling of the Democrats and she got worked like an old whore. How did that happen? (easy lefties, i like Ann Richards. She is a great lady who did a lot of good - and bad - for Texas).

Al Gore should have won easily, what with the economy and the press behind him, but W turned him into a raving lunatic (you know it's true, algore is a madman).

Kerry should be running away with this thing, but everytime he opens his mouth, his poll numbers drop.

Prediction, Bush will win, and it wont be close. The polls will show Kerry ahead, but W will win with a 5-10 point margin.

Disclaimer, I voted for Jimmy Carter and Ross Perot!! so I don't have a good track record in presidential races.
