I would give George W. Bush a solid C+ as a president right now. I was expecting more of a B/B- performance at the time of his election. I thought Gore would be around a C+, so I don't consider Bush's 2000 win a victory anymore. However, I think that the post-election win was a victory for the democratic process.
The current field of Dems who actually have a chance is pretty weak, though. I'd say the best are Lieberman and Kerry, whom are probably C+ and C- respectively.
So I supported Bush in 2000, and I will support him again in 2004 unless Lieberman gets nominated and raises my expectations. However, I think that voting "My view never changed -- I always, and still do, support President Bush" would be an overstatement.
