Bush between a rock and a hard place

now, IF the election isn't rigged, AND the dems turn out to vote in large numbers, AND the independents are as disaffected as polls would indicate, AND the election is truly a referendum on bush, AND the wingnut base is as unhappy with the predatory sexual and massively corrupt repub leadership as they should be, AND gays who are tired of being demonized decide to vote en masse, AND parents are tired of seeing their children thrown to the wolves in iraq, AND the general public has lost its appetite for being spied on, AND rove doesn't pull another vicious, twisted rabbit out of his hat, why, THEN...
GOP strategists know well that no political party has successfully weathered a midterm election with such an unpopular president in office. Bush's challenge as he campaigns in the final days of the election is to find a way to excite and mobilize a fractured Republican base without triggering an even bigger turnout among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents that could cost his party the House or Senate.

my little chinese-made, lacquered, birthday gift, music box-cum-clock started ticking last night on its own after my feeble repair efforts failed... to show you how desperate i am to have this election turn out well, i'm taking that as a good sign...
