Bush's Unpopularity Deepens


First, the good news:
In just the 18 months since his reelection, the map has gone from 31 red states to just four: Utah (55%), Wyoming (54%), Idaho (53%), and Nebraska (51%), which collectively comprise "barely two percent of the 296.5 million people in the United States based on a July 2005 Census Bureau estimate."
Now, the bad news:
[John Dean predicts...]

If anyone doubts that Bush, Cheney, Rove and their confidants are planning an "October Surprise" to prevent the Republicans from losing control of Congress, then he or she has not been observing this presidency very closely.

What will that surprise be? It's the most closely held secret of the Administration.

How risky will it be? Bush is a whatever-it-takes risk-taker, the consequences be damned.

Maybe he'll commit suicide so his party can get the sympathy vote...

I know you mean that tongue-in-cheek, but I wouldn't discount his own party doing something to him and making it look like suicide. The Tom DeLay gang would do anything to hold onto power.
