When they look back at why bush lost
do you think it was because he could never admit a mistake?

1. That's one reason.
You know, they should have never gone near the character thing. I think since the first debate, the number of people who can see * is a totally spoiled asshole has grown exponentially. Live by "character," die by "character."

2. They won't lose...

...in their fevered minds it'll be "stolen". Ergo, no mistakes made, none to admit.

3. The further we get from the * "presidency"
the clearer it will become to everyone that it was, at best, an incredible embarrassment and, at worst, a national (perhaps international) tragedy. I think the turning point for a lot of people was that first debate, when * was revealed as the bumbling, smirking spoiled brat that he is. I think that first debate will become legendary.

11. I agree completely. They're absurdly cartoonish.
People will be writing books about this administration for decades to come. Name the problem, you can find a premier example of it in the Bush Administration.

4. I think they will determine that it was because
bush is an ignorant, arrogant, incompetent, hateful, fear mongering right wing extremist nut job.

5. I think pure unbridled ARROGANCE was their problem....
....they didn't even make an attempt at being evenhanded and their attitude of making no compromises and pretending they had a mandate for everything they did while ignoring and suppressing dissent was their biggest mistake.

7. Michael Moore
Remember when all the news and books were right wing spin. Mm released "Stupid White Men" and had to self-promote the book. His book was number 1. Publishers started releasing other books that tell the truth. Some of the truth about this maladministration came out.

Then MM released Farenheit 9/11.

Howard Dean criticized *.

John Kerry is also a great candidate and has run a great campaign.
