“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

The bad hurt

What saddens me most about the SurveyUSA 50 state polls is how poor Bush's approval ratings sit in all those swing states that helped put him back in the White House.

I wish I could just shrug it off as a "you get what you pay for" kind of thing. But even those of us that knew better are paying for it.

And that's what hurts the most.

For the record:
West Virginia 46/51
Arizona 45/52
Colorado 43/55
Iowa 43/54
Virginia 43/55
Florida 42/55
New Mexico 42/56
Missouri 41/57
Nevada 39/59
Arkansas 38/59
Ohio 38/60

One can only hope that the Democrats can turn enough of these states on to their side by 2008, because the current administration has done more than enough to turn them off.
