it means he has a BIG chance of losing the second term.
the system itself is designed to balance the influence of
all parties out.
"for every outspoken moron, there is an equal and opposite outspoken
moron"
Bush is popular because of 9/11. i think he would have been hammered
in every way (lagging economy, Enron/WorldCom etc etc)
The funny thing is that Dems had so much great ammo and come off like
a desperate bunch of centerless whackos. they lack leadership, focus and
a plan. it was theirs to lose and they lost it.
but just like when Clinton got elected and the dems then lost the House and Senate as a result... there will be a similar reaction to this. It means bush will lose the second term. The only way he will not lose the second term is if he does something outstanding in Iraq (i.e. throws Saddam out, puts in a new government, gets international support for that government and keeps himself in the spotlight on that issue) that will only be relevent if the timing is good. the public is fickle. public opinion even more so.
if i had to be though, i would say he will not get a second term. thats how the system works.
