Investigations could make or break Bush


Candidates and political parties that bank on their opponents’ getting dragged down by scandal usually end up disappointed — think the Democrats in 1984 and the Republicans in 1996. Barring earth-shattering revelations, elections get decided on the incumbent’s management of the economy and foreign affairs.

The fact that he was aquited in 99% of the accusations has not been declared loudly my the media that showcased most of the "scandels". If they had done that to Bush he would already be impeached and in jail. But the media keeps giving him a free ride.
