Reply #5: I wish you were right

I wish you were right, but lets not get carried away here. Bush is still a very popular president, and just because McCain slams him, or Leno jokes about him doesn't mean a whole lot. People can poke fun and still like the guy, just look at Clinton.

I don't think you can count on the O'Neil book for much traction either because much of the public views it as sour grapes. It didn't help that O'Neil himself distanced himself from the book after it caused such a stir. He went out of his way to say 'its not my book' after getting so much attention focused on some choice quotes.

Again, I wish you were right, but we've got to stay level headed and keep the pressure on. Rush Limbaugh will often claim the Dems are 'panicking' or 'collapsing' or 'self destructing', when in reality its wishful thinking. I don't want to go there.
