With TV news pumping W up, at full throttle, why do his polls still sink?
When Mrs. Alito's crying can become the lead story, savaging the Dems, and putting the icing on the cake of Alito's nomination, why is the public still down on Bush? Are they thinking for themselves? Are they looking around them, and realizing what's happening, both here at home and in Iraq? Is our Dem leadership still wary of taking the cabal on, even if it has minimal public approval? If so, are they listening to Russert and Tweety, et.al., or to the people?

1. I think we tend to exaggerate how many ever listen to Tweety or Russert...

If we stop listening to them, they will lose 80% of their audience because the rightwingers still are listening mostly to FOX.

Just realized I was responding to a wrong question -- by "they" you meant politicians not the populace but my sentiment still stands :)

3. "Some of the time" has run out for "all of the people."
To reference Lincoln's remarks.
