I'm personally glad Gore is not running, though I do believe he was screwed (and screwed himself) in 2000. He seems like a decent enough guy, but I question how "tough" he can really be. Not to mention, his wife scares the shit out of me.

Hmmm...2004: At this point, I'd say I'm leaning towards John Kerry or Al Sharpton. I'd really have to take a harder look at both candidates though. And I won't support the Greens...too anti-business for my liking.

The last poll I saw had Bush at 67% approval...that was a few weeks ago, IIRC. Not bad, but well below the 90% from post-9/11.

In the end, I do think it will be the economy, stupid. If it doesn't show solid improvement in the next 6-12 months, it will become a greater liability for him. What the GOP does in Congress in the next 2 years could also prove vital.
