Bush can still be beaten

[quinnox]

Saddam's capture is good for him in the short term, but it isn't a sure-winner. Depends on what happens in Iraq still. Also, on the economy, if jobs continue to be lost, Bush will still be in trouble.

I still think about how the first Bush was riding high, a year or so ahead of the election in '92, with unbelieveable poll numbers and a successful war victor, and look what happened to him.

Now, if Osama is captured next, then I might start to worry.

4. I think we have to remember - and remind people ...

that it was the troops that captured Saddam - not *. * didn't have a damn thing to do with it and Saddam didn't have a damn thing to do with 9-11. On top of which how many Iraqis and American soldiers are not around any more to appreciate this moment? How many women and children have died because * wanted to start an apropos of nothing war? We will all have to suffer through the next week of pollster snake-oil, but we have to keep our eye on the ball and not lose focus. In the end, how much will Saddam's capture mean to people who don't have jobs and seniors who don't have medication and parents who are losing their children in the middle of the desert half a world away? * = human suffering. * must go in '04.
