I do not think it will. I think people will make a decision based upon the candidates that are on the ballot, not upon who is currently in the White House.
If you believe it will, then why did Gore not win HUGE in 2000?
Clinton was very popular, was he not?
Thank You, As Always!

yes definitely
70% of the country dislike bush and republicans in general
whoever the democrat is will end up president
why do you think all the big money doners are not giving any money to the Republicans so far?
both Hillary and Obama have each raised more money separately than every Republican candidate put together
why do you think so many senior Repulicans in the senate and house are retiring? then already have learned its no fun to be in the minority and they know its about to get alot worse
republican national party leaders have said they expect the dems to win the white house, get a veto proof majority in the senate and possibly the house also

It most definitely will.
Prospects for the GOP in general are bleak come 2008. They simply cannot win on their "merits" alone (thus the motivation behind the right-wing smear attacks on Democratic candidates). It is no wonder moderate Republicans in Congress are attempting to distance themselves from Bush and his policies to avoid getting punished by angry voters.
Regarding Clinton's impact on Gore's 2000 campaign, Bush's phony promise of "restoring integrity" into the White House certainly gave the "values voters" incentive to head to the ballots (though Gore still managed to win the popular vote but lost due to a controversial Supreme Court ruling). It is obvious Bush's utter failings as president will be a huge burden on GOP candidates, given many of them advocate some of his same policies. The outlook is grim for Republicans.

The electoral college exist to make each physique's vote honest. If applicants have been elected on conventional vote, the could spend all their time wooing California, ny and Chicago and win the election. Then they could rob from the agricultural cities to offer to those massive cities. The electoral college gadget forces the applicants to allure to each element of the rustic.

In 2000, people felt betrayed by Clinton's cheating on his wife. Although the economy was doing great, they chose a different party to have somebody in office with morals. So, it happened in 2000 (he was selected, not elected) and it will happen in 2008.

The problem was the media liked to portray Clinton as being popular. The truth came out. Fast forward to now. The media likes to show George Bush as being bad. The truth will come out in 2008 when another GOP President is elected.

It shouldn't. Bush isn't on the ticket. As you stated, it didn't help in Gore's case.
