The Nattering Nabob

The latest polls suggest that the Democrats will retake the House.

It's early, of course, and I wouldn't trust a poll at this point as far as I could throw it. But what it does indicate is the intensity of opposition to Bush. Thanks to past incompetence ("Mississippi? Why should we bother campaigning in Mississippi?") the Republicans have a LOT more seats than the Democrats. To take control of the House, they have to flip 30 seats. And this possibility that they may do it is entirely due to dissatisfaction with Bush and the Republicans - not approval of the Democrats. And for that to be the case, this "dissatisfaction" has to be bordering on fury.

An enormous number of Americans are absolutely furious about what George Bush is done. Rightfully. Furious enough to vote in droves with the sole purposes of disempowering him.
