Every single time they refer to the Repub candidates they need to mention Bush and how they supported him and his failed policies for the past 7 years.

Bush = public rejection, failure
Supported Bush = public rejection, failure

This is an easy one.

2. I know the ones in my district won't
They'll be afraid of offending the Republican voters. If any of them are still Bush supporters, they won't vote for our Dems anyway, but there you have it.

3. Makes you wonder if they are reading the polls worrying about offending Repubs...
With Bush's approval ratings in the gutter, what Repub is going to say 'I'm offended'??

4. Seriously, they are ashamed of him
Not one Republican I know defends him anymore and the local GOP pols won't even mention his name. If I ran all the campaigns in the state, I'd just put up signs with a picture of Bush, and = sign, and a picture of the GOP opponent in that district. No text needed.

6. It is a powerful formula "Bush = (Repub Candidate)"....
And many of the Repubs running for reelection have voting records to back up this allegation.

That is why so many Repubs have decided not to run for reelection.

7. oh the golden opportunities
they have missed repeatedly
the defeats snatched from victory
the victories that are hollow
the words versus the actions
