aw I missed a Zylka fest?

Ted Striker: nice poll

[Jon Miller]

we don't know it was Zylka

and I won't think it was him, until he/mods tell me it was

(although I admit he has done such things in the past..)

After reading everyone's comments, I'm think it's probably better that I missed the pics.

As for the topic, I'm curious to see what Bush's poll numbers look like.

Anyone care to speculate on what happens to them?

[Guynemer]

I don't think we'll see much movement; if anything, a very small increase.

The natural tendancy to rally around the leader will be tempered by all the criticism he has rightly received.



And Jon--those pictures and posting style were definitely Zykla. Granted, I don't know it was him, but if it wasn't, it was someone doing a damned good imitation.

I predict a 5-10 point drop.

Let it not be said that she can not see which way the winds are blowing and switch accordingly.

Yeah, yeah, blah blah blah...

The whole point of the right and left is to score political points off each other and generally **** the other group up.

Che you just happen to be on the left - so your goal basically is to sh.it on the right cos 'they're all greedy rich bastards' or something like that...

Problem is once the lefties get into power they're just as greedy and corrupt.

So things see saw from one extreme to the next without any hope of equilibrium without any prospect of justice or fairness to the populace as a whole...

That last sentence of yours just shows how totally deluded you are in your own sense of self-righteousness...

I normally don't do this, but Mobius. The extreme left (che) and the extreme right (err.. Ned?) are both equally horrible. I'd like to tell both of them to sod off.

In St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes, just south of New Orleans, victims of the hurricane are still waiting for food and water and for buses to escape the floodwaters, Melancon said. And for the entire time Bush was in the state, the congressman said, a ban on helicopter flights further stalled the delivery of food and supplies.

Have I somehow given you the impression that I'm an optimist when it comes to the United States of America????

Seriously, that's all the swing I see. Most of his base is pretty loyal and not prone to critical thinking. Among swing voters there's not much of an alternative being offered by the Dems right now. He might drop a bit more, but then his rebound will be bigger also. Of course, it's entirely possible that he might f**k-up some thing else big, in which case he could go into a tailspin.

Having said that, a ten point drop is still pretty significant.

The Times-Picayune is reporting that all helicopter flights were suspended for the duration of the President's visit to Louisiana.

I can not ****ing believe this. Honest to God, this is just beyond all belief. I've truly tried to remain calm and rational through all this, but this is just too ****ing much.

Impeach this *******.

Some poll numbers, even though I don't think they matter at this point. Mostly it looks like the early returns aren't very good for local authorities. The rebuild/abandon number is only running 49/43.
