Dems lead Bush

[ET Awful]

Nice news from the front page headline of the Boston Herald today. In bigger and bolder type than any mention of Bush's UN farce:

Dems lead Bush: Poll: Kerry or Clark would edge out prez

WASHINGTON - Democrats Wesley Clark and John F. Kerry bumped ahead of a suddenly vulnerable President Bush for the first time yesterday in a new national poll, running stronger than even primary front-runner Howard Dean.


The retired four-star Army Gen. Clark, showing surprising strength after joining the race just last week, led Bush 49-46 percent - a statistical dead heat given the poll's three-point margin of error.

Kerry (D-Mass.) nudged the president, 48-47 percent while Dean - who rocketed to the head of the Democratic pack over the summer - trailed Bush by four points, 49-45 percent.

The five leading Democrats, including Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) and U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt, were all bunched within the USAToday/CNN/Gallup Poll's margin of error in head-to-head matchups against Bush, whose popularity has been sapped by an ailing economy and the Iraq war.

1. Sure...

And Bush's circumvention of all things American haven't even become 24/7 news cycle fodder as yet. I say his ass is hanging out rather far. It's going to be a hoot watching him try to defend himself with his own mouth.

2. People at work

Are suddenly shopping for alternatives to the boy Emperor. I don't know exactly why. It just seems to be happening. And don't ask me who they choose. It's very open to change.
