McCain/Some chick from Canada 08: Folding Under Pressure

nacho:
Because everyone's losing faith, and all the black people at my office say that America will never have a black president.

Nubbins:
Oh, we're going to have a black President.  I'm not worried about that.

--- Quote ---President Bush is ''absolutely radioactive'' and Republicans will suffer widespread election losses in November unless they distance themselves from him, said Rep. Tom Davis, a former leader of the party's House campaign committee.

''They've got to get some separation from the president,'' Davis, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's ''Political Capital with Al Hunt,'' which aired Friday. Bush is the face of the party, and congressional Republicans are ''seen as just in lockstep with him on everything,'' Davis said.

Republicans would lose 20 to 25 House seats if the election were held today, Davis said. If Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is seen by voters as ''Bush III,'' he will lose by 20 percentage points, said Davis, who chaired the National Republican Congressional Committee from 1998 to 2002.

If it's McCain '08, I'll probably exile myself in Europe for a few years, actually. Mostly because I want to, anyways. But I can blame it on McCain! Yay!

But, really, I can't wait for debates between Obama and McCain. He's just as senile as Bush is and is going to say all kinds of insane shit. I have no doubts about that.

I think the crucial key is to get Clinton on board the Obama train. Although I think she's insane and awful, her supporters defecting to McCain is equally insane and awful. I hate Democrats.

Bush being dumb hurt him in the elections and in public opinion.... how?  I'd argue it still isn't a major factor in his current polls.

I suppose the argument is that times have changed and Bush is now poorly thought of but people have different reasons for that.  People are still used to defending Bush against being "dumb"; stupidity vs intelligence became an elitist and meanie trap that Kerry fell into, and so can Obama.
