republicans still have such a high approval of bush when the 2008 elections turns out to be a complete rout for the GOP and a landslide victory for the Democrats? Will they still think so highly of him once they realize that he is responsible for the GOP being out of power for decades to come?

How about if we make the next election a victory for the American people and elect someone who is not a puppet for either party.

I am afraid there will not be a landslide victory for the Democrats. The Republicans will play the fear card, and the American people will fall for it as they always do. They elected Bush twice, didn't they? I mean, I hope you're right, and if the election were held today, I think it would be a Democratic rout, but a lot can happen in a year, and you're dealing with a very easily-deceived voting public with apparently very short memories.
And, Mommymonster, I wish we were looking back on Bush as history rather than having to try to survive his presidency.

Id like to see the source you quote for 70% of Republicans still supporting Bush when the NATIONAL average (not the number of DEMOCRATS who support Bush, everyone in the NATION) is at low 20s per cent.
There could only be like 15% of those polled who were actually Republicans to skew the National average from 70% all the way down to 23% or so.

Show me how the Democrats will win by a landslide. If the election comes down to Hilary vs. Rudy, it's going to be one of the biggest battles yet to be seen for the White House.
Why? Both of these candidates have a high reputation in New York so don't go speculating that the Democrats have already won the 2008 election.

Talk about an outright lie... I defy you to produce any current polls that show a 70% Republican approval rating of GWB. Additionally, I challenge you to produce a current poll that shows his approval rating at 26%. You have mistaken the congressional approval rating for his.

There's no guarantee the Democrats will win. Right now the Panderers are the front runners, while the straight shooters (Kucinch and Gravel) have no chance of winning. Its ok though because the Republicans are the same way right now.

He was elected twice. That alone says a lot.
I really have my doubts that the next president is going to be able to solve all the issues that the current president is facing.
Instead, I think there is a good chance that if a Democrat is elected the Repulicans are simply going to start saying 'See? We told you so.'

It's too early for anybody to start getting cocky. This election is still over one year away. That's a lifetime in politics. A lot can happen before then. Let's wait and see.

There are people in both parties that are so stubborn & ignorant that the will always hold fast no matter how bad the person is. I suspect alot of Democrats will vote for Hillary, despite the number of people who distrust her. That's no different.

Hold your horses fella'. The KC Star said that Dewey beat Truman. It is far from over. And, with the tide turning away from the negativity of the libs the Republican momentum is even greater.
