How will Bush and the Republicans counter the FALLING polls?
Advertisements [?]
I think there will be two separate strategies. The Bush White House will keep doing whatever it pleases, not admitting anything could possibly be wrong. To the freeper base and to some others, this will appear "strong".

The Repugs in Congress on the other hand have to run this year. I think we will see more things like the Dubai vote, pitting Repugs against the White House to prove to the public that they are "independent", "ethical".

This way, the freepers voting "brand name Bush" will vote their emotions (the Repug ticket), and more moderate Republicans will perceive their individual representatives and Senators to be independent enough from the White House so that they don't need to vote Democrat "just to balance things out."

Thoughts?
