fantastic roundup.
Who are these 29%???
How quickly will that number melt after January 20?
Map, I know that numbers can lie, that stats can be manipulated, that things are not so clean cut... but still. These numbers are truly impressive. Shows a lot of hard work!
I don't know about 29%, Mahakal. I've seen way lower so I think it depends on how the question is worded and in what relationship to other questions, etc.
Soon we'll find that absolutely no one voted for Bush in either term....
This is profoundly disturbing. Seriously, is this country better off than it was 8 years ago? Anyone who says yes is diluted. We are better than this.
We probably will never recover from the Bush Rampage. Asia, India, and the European Union will become the next super powers. So much for the neocon wet dream of owning the world.
