What do you do when the red states disapprove?

What astonishes me about these Survey USA numbers (thanks, Ezra!) is not that Bush's approval numbers are so low (that's a given by now) but that so many swing states that broke for Bush have finally woken up and are feverishly searching their apartment for spare change to give Bush a cab ride home before their friends find out. Nevada (thanks, Harry Reid!) and Ohio (thanks, Tom Noe!) especially feel the hangover regret, given his some of his lowest marks in the nation.

Of course, I still think the country would be busy trying to kick John Kerry out the door first. Despite my bravado, Kerry served to make Bush look stronger, not through any real fault of Johns, but through the well oiled attack machine that the GOP could create. Kerry was a monster sent to destroy the country, and only Bush could save it. Now people see they may have gotten it all wrong.

An exciting 2006 is yet to come.
