To be fair, the thought of four more years of The George and Dick Show is enough to terrify anyone outside of John Ashcroft's immediate family. But if anti-Bushies insist on wallowing in their doubts, fears, and premature recriminations, they should do so beyond the earshot of the bloodthirsty political media. Publicized angst just plays into Republicans' message that Dems are a bunch of weak, self-doubting girly men.
The problem, you see, is that voters clearly do not want to re-elect Bush, but the media is manipulating them into doing it.
Cottle is not un-panicking; she is collapsing into being delusional. The girl really needs to get out of her little D.C. enclave.
Meanwhile, over at Tradesports, Bush is trading at 67, and if you count up the electoral votes for all the states where Bush is ahead in Tradesports, you get 284 electoral votes. Of all the states where Bush is ahead, the worst he is doing is in Wisconsin, where he is trading for 59. [Below the fold, I have put a table of the states (plus D.C.), with the last Tradesports price for Bush (as of this morning), plus each state's electoral vote, ranked by Bush price.] Notice that of the states where Bush is behind, in four of them (Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota), the price is closer to 50 than Wisconsin's 59 is. And so, the Washington Post reports, Bush is now aggressively contesting Democratic stronghold Minnesota.
