If only. W has no cushion at this point? O, he'll wave the bloody shirt in NYC when he is renominated. Look at the crap his Web site is peddling. Most yokels think he is a war hero. The one thing he can't control is all Osama's boys now in Iraq. They took on the Red Army in Afghanistan and they're bleeding us daily in Baghdad. BTW, where in hell is Osama bin Laden? 5 will get you ten that he is back home in Riyadh. If our people can't find Saddam, what makes anyone think that Osama can't be underground in Saudi Arabia? If this be (fair & balanced) treason, make the most of it.

Could Iraq Cost Bush the Election?
Last week historian Allan Lichtman told USA Today that it's rare for a president to lose an election over an issue related to foreign policy. Lichtman, who's accurately predicted many presidential elections based on a careful analysis of the critical factors that shape American politics — factors he refers to as "keys"* — argued that Bush is favored to win re-election. He added, however, "it could become quicksand if anything happens to the economy. He has no cushion at this point."
What do you think? Could Iraq cost Bush the presidency? Can you think of any foreign policy issues that cost presidents re-election?
