What a difference a year can make. This time last year, George Bush was about to win re-election. This year, he faces darker times. Thursday, his Supreme Court nominee withdrew. As soon as Friday, aides could face indictment in the CIA leak probe. And a new poll even says he would lose an election if it were held today.

[Aric2000]

I am torn, believe it or not, I still would have voted for him in 2004, Kerry would have detroyed us, but again? I don't know, if he can turn around on immigration, and actually nominate a TRUE constructionist/conservative, yes, otherwise, I just could leap.

With that Meirs nominations, I was a BIT PISSED OFF....

[Lazarus]

Well the question is really unfair until Amreica could experience a year under John Kerry as a comparison...

that shows the majority of those polled are democrats .

[Taylor]

How foolish people are for actually believing President Bush is running for a third term. That's the impression I get from the media. The fact is, Bush isn't running again so his low poll numbers don't mean anything. My how things change in a year. Last year, I supported Jeb Bush for Vice President. However, with his brother's poll numbers so low, I think Gov. Bush would be the wrong choice for Vice President in 2008. I think he would only hurt whoever the Republicans nominate for President.

[Beowulf]

It's just a hypothetical question, Taylor.

I will say this though. If W doesn't do a quick about-face on some stuff he will not only be hurting the GOP's chances in 2008 but may cost a few seats in the Senate and Congress in 2006.

[Taylor]

I agree Bush may hurt his party in 2006 & 2008 if he does change his views on some issues such as immigration and spending. If he could run for a third term, I don't think he could win again.

[Conservative81]

I'd vote for him again, if he gives up his silly amnesty crap. Of course looking at who the Dems might put up for election, I'm sure papa Bush could have a second term :thumb:

[rudolph vasolino]

Would he win again? Yes, if he were running against hanoi john or hillary robbem, He'd win.

[routerider]

I voted for Bush...he's not the brightest bulb on the tree but I couldn't stand Kerry. It sucks ass when you only have two candidates to choose from.
