WaPo article, “Bush: Clueless and Happy” by Dan Froomkin, is a very good read!

As always, Froomkin has his eye on the ball. In the preceding quote, something caught my attention; “Bush has driven the public into the arms of the Democrats.” I think there’s a lot more truth in this statement than Dan meant there to be.

Other than the obvious “anyone other than a republican!” angle, have Clinton or Obama made any (tangible) promises that screams out to you to vote for them? Do they have you “pumped up”? I’m certainly not pumped. I still have not brought myself to the point of choosing which one to get behind.

And that might also explain why John McCain is doing better than once expected. Yes, he is “Bush III“. And, yes, it will be “four more years“. But McCain does have a history of an independent following. And I fear if Clinton or Obama don’t change tactics, and soon, McCain could very well win the big prize.
