Faced with the unexpected prospect
of running against George Bush during an economic
recovery which has shown remarkable gains

The economy has made ZERO gains. It's all losses. All companies showing profits
did so by closing plants and cutting jobs and benefits.
Marist poll show a 17% dip in bush approval ratings. How bad is that? Well,
bush people like to say his rating is still high, but the fact is that the
rating is WITHOUT another candidate in the wings. That means a large amount of
Americans want Bush out regardless of who runs against him!
