Bush -- no way Jose

I've been thinking about what would happen if Bush got reelected next year, and I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't stand a chance to be reelected.

Well, he wouldn't be reelected anyway. Perhaps elected for the first time, but there is no way that's going to happen. Here are some observations that lead me to believe this:

1. Driving around CA and here on the roads in SLO, I've seen a a bunch of bumper stickers for Dean and for Clark. Perhaps a dozen or more. But only one for Bush.
2. Bush has screwed up everything he's touched, and calls to investigate Bush/Cheney are getting more numerous and louder.
3. Bush's foreign policy is just plain whacked -- we knew that. But Bush is travelling to London the same day as I am and he is demanding that central London be sealed off to protestors during his visit. Scottland Yard responds: "... the powers requested by US security chiefs would be unprecedented on British soil."
4. Iraq. 'nuff said.

No one outside the US is hot on Bush either. It seems that only the bible belt here in the states actually thinks he is doing a good job. Fortunately I think the bible belt will be overruled next November. Less than 500 days with Bush in office, and yet the end is not coming soon enough.
