Davis: Race 'over' if it becomes a referendum on Bush

Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) cannot win the presidency if the election becomes a referendum on President Bush, a prominent Republican lawmaker, Rep. Tom Davis (Va.), declared Wednesday.

“If this is a referendum on Bush, then this race is over,” Davis said on a conference call with reporters.

Davis acknowledged the political environment is tough for Republicans because Bush’s numbers have been “in the trash can.”

But Davis cautioned that the presidential race could also well come down to whether Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) is able to positively familiarize himself with voters who don’t know much about him.

1. mr davis why should it not be a referendum on the criminal leading your party?

The only difference between mccain and bush is that mccain served honorably in the military. The actions of the gop in last 14 years should banish them to minority party status for decades. How's that for a referendum?
