Limbaugh-Hannity can't keep Bush's numbers from Falling
Hannity-Limbaugh-John Gibson-Laura Ingrahm etc. with all the attacks against her still fail to discredit Cindy Sheeham. Bush's numbers comtinue to fall while Cindy's supporters continue to grow,

1. 41% in the Survey USA poll
And they did a 50 state breakdown. Bush's best numbers are an unimpressive 59% in Idaho, and in many states drop down into the low 30's.

When he goes below 40% I'll have a real celebration.

6. Sounds great
Are we all invited? I'll probably celebrate in a similar fashion, but the natural high might be enough.

7. The right crested
and over saturated their market. Too many pigs lined up at the trough. We're seeing the weaker ones get pushed aside. Dennis Miller. Colin Quinn. Maggie Gallagher. Mona Charen. (does anybody syndicate their columns anymore? I know they've been dropped from our paper, the Atlanta Constitution). Armstrong Williams. And, praise the lord, Ann Coulter has all but disappeared from television. Fox is already predicting that the right is losing numbers so they're crabwalking their way toward the middle. Doesn't matter; they're still sensationalistic and unreliable.
Satellite radio, blogs, Air America, The Daily Show...the left has been listless. But we seem to waking up. We're building. They're disassembling.
And with all the alternatives, the right has been branded as the place for old white men listening to hate-radio and watching Faux. Soon, we'll just have Hannity, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh for the Kool-Aid drinkers. There are enough to keep them in business. But they won't build. They're yesterday's newspaper.
The rest of America has moved on.

5. Only 10 states
have approval ratings greater than their disapproval ratings.

Pretty significant, I'd say.

Just how is he earning his keep? Isn't he the poll guy? All the King's horses and all the King's men…

11. The formula is finally failing.
From John McCain in 2000 to Cindy Sheehan in 2005, BushCo has had one modus operandi: have the underlings and pundits attack, and have the BoyKing appear to be above the fray and uninvolved with the smear.

For the most part it worked like a charm. From Ted Sampley to John O'Neill and the SwiftBoatLiarsForBush, to make believe Iraqi citizens (who oddly enough, are married to pro-W reporters! shazam!) the grunts have done the smearing. Finally the dots to be connected are now a straight line. The word is given and those who embarass Dear Leader are brought down in print, on the radio and on cable babblefests everywhere.

But this time, it hasn't worked. One woman, there in the heat of an August Texas sun, has taken the worst the HallelujahW Choir has thrown at her and has remained dignified, resolute and each day, more and more people rally to her cause. They come and they stand with her and they stand together in vigils all across America. And to all those who have tried to tear her down I have sad news: Not this time. Not this woman. She is better than you, and she will always be better than you. She will not Go Away. We light candles for her to curse the darkness you send her way.


My candle is lit already Cindy. You are my candle. Long may you glow in all of us.

12. Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio
Those states in particular seem to be suffering from buyer's regret. Too bad the assholes who voted for ChimpCo in those states didn't wake up last November.
