I'm the least you could do
I don't typically spout off too much on politics, mostly because although I have plenty of opinions, I generally don't like to debate politics much. Usually because in the end it gets down to an "well, if I was in charge" type of comment, and we all know that's not going to happen.
But I will say this. I have no real love or hatred for Bush. I thought he picked cabinet members that I liked, but in general, the thrust of this presidentcy has been too single-issued. I think most americans are tired of the "push forward blindly" towards whatever our goal is, which I also think is less and less clear.
I think this presidenty has screwed the next republican candidate. I'm predicting right here and now that the democratic nominee will win, barring him colossally screwing up, like Nixon.
Notice I said him. I would be surprised if any of the women who are suspected of running actually get the nomination. There's a lot of people around still who don't take kindly to that kind of thinking.

100% agree on Bush, though I'm even slipping more towards the "what the hell are you doing" category - which is big for me. I will say McCain is the one exception to the Republican nomination deal - anyone else, screwed - McCain, I think people view him as the guy who should have been the nominee.
However, the Democrats have another big advantage, it's time. Carter (D), then Reagan (R), then Bush (R) but really only because of Reagan and even then it only lasted 4 years, then Clinton (D), now Bush (R). Anytime you get an 8 year guy, the other party usually wins, just becase we get tired of him.
