3. Just Wolfie/Carlos Watson surmising on "Situation Room"
They were speculating about what IdiotSon may do to save his plummeting poll numbers. They even mused about bringing in someone a la David Gergen (Dem) ... Who'd want THAT gig (except maybe Zell Miller and that'd make his numbers GO DOWN!).

7. Also Carlos Watson saying poll numbers not a big deal,
that many presidents have touched 40% and recovered, including clinton.

well, the only stats I could find quickly are here:
<>
Only Zogby, who appears to be consistently low shows clinton at anywhere near 40%, usually by about 10% over most other polls.

I stand to be corrected, but the bush trend line here:
<>

is very different.

11. Indeed it IS very different! Look at *'s DOWNward trend
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 05:22 PM by ultraist
According to Gallup, rarely do presidents recover when they hit such lows as Bush has.

He compared him to CLINTON? WTF? He should have compared him to NIXON. Freakin' M$M. :eyes:

12. Downward trend is right.
Big bounce from 9/11. Small bounce from Iraq invasion. The rest is mostly down, down, down...

9. Fact check.
David Gergen is a Republican.

Accuracy counts. :)

2. Bush would stay the course
No matter what, Shrub will stay the course with all his buddies, might even promote a few like he has in the past with all the liars.

5. Sorry - Situation Room on CNN - Wolfie question to Carlos Watson..
on what are options for * with the falling poll numbers? Was suggested that he may shake up his staff...(hasn't he been shaking his staff at all of us for nearly 6 years?!). Also, isn't clear to me that it wouldn't be the grinch himself (Dick) that would shake up the staff, since he is probably "running" things anyway!

13. They were comparing "what Bush could do" to other presidents who
came before. Personally - I would be terrified of letting Rove or anyone go. Those narcicists types - they think they decide if they are in your life or not.

CNN was just guessing.
