I have been noticing this for a while now and it is becoming a genuine phenom.

I believe that Bush has left himself somewhat vulnerable in the area of the economy and postwar management of Iraq. His admitted reliance on his advisors for news rather than watching and listening for himself is disturbing to me and it could easily turn into an unhealthy bunker mentality, if it hasn't already.

Ironically, the hate thing may ruin any chance that the Dems may have to unseat him. Who and how many genuinely hate Bush I don't know but I suspect that it is far more than those that will admit it. Hate is politically incorrect so many liberals are loathe to admit their indulgence.

I am convinced that the moderate electorate does not like the demonization and they will turn on the party that becomes too shrill.
