6. Serious Answer

In my view, things would not be much different than they are now.

Bush has about 46-48% support, of that group

(a) Approx. 30% will support him no matter what b/c of religious views. period.

(b) Approx. 13% support him on financial issues alone, and frankly don't care much about any other issues. Some of this group can be moved to change their support, depending on the the other choice (Kerry). This group is very much the self absorbed amd relatively uninformed - except when it comes to $$$.

(c) The balance, 3% to 5% - I put in this group -- they say "yeah I hear what you are saying, and I am the last person to want soldiers to die, but don't you have to agree that Bush is at least doing something - and I'd rather have a president that is doing something - kicking some butt and letting people know they can't mess with us - sort of stuff. Perhaps can be shown enough factual evidence to conclude that if the "doing something" is horribly the wrong thing to do, then perhaps it is worse than "doing nothing"
