Current Events » in reply to EP, I can only respectfully point out that credibility is precious and easily diminished.

The way people usually work...

Is that they believe what they want to, until reality confronts them in ways that they can not avoid.

First off, you have to remember that Gore was an arrogant SOB, who's mellowed out now, while Bush Jr was and is a nice guy. One problem is that sometimes people try to take advantage of nice guys. I think that in this case they have.

About the only way Bush Jr has a prayer of turning this economy around is

1) reduce taxes, but ONLY on the lower brackets

2) increased federal road money given to the states

3) picking up the states' costs for increased counter-terrorism measures

Either Bush Jr will listen to McCain, or he'll listen to Armey. If he listens to Armey, the Republicans will go down.

We saw this before with Bush Snr and Gingrich, after the Gulf War.
