Bush campaign turns ABB

("Anybody But Bush", that is)

Well, it's official. The Bush campaign has gone 'round the bend, off the deep end. They've lost it completely. They can read the polls and the zeitgeist as well as anyone, and they know their man is in very deep trouble. So what do you do when that happens? Why, start making ads for the other guy!

This ad was put on the Bush/Cheney campaign web site today. Check it out -- in whatever format you desire (we aim to please). You won't believe this is a Bush/Cheney ad. In fact, "parody" and "someone hacked the Bush/Cheney campaign site" are the two most common reactions.

More Bounce Needed!

Looks like that didn't last long. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll is out, and it really doesn't look good for Dubya. I guess the ghoulish "Reagan Bounce" wingnuts were counting on won't be enough to win the election for Bush, after all.

On the other hand, we now have a metric to gauge the effectiveness of the deaths of conservative/right wing icons on pro-Bush sentiment. By that measure, a few more might just put Bush over the top, especially around election day.

So, what do you say? Ann, Rush, Sean...who's willing to take one for the team? Come to think of it, one might not be enough -- after all, Reagan was the most popular president ever, right? It looks like we may have to ask all of you to step up and support the President (and, of course, the troops)...
