Bush: Game Over?

A Sunday Washington Post story on Bush says recent shake-ups might be "too little too late" ... ya think!
The recent White House shake-up was an attempt to jump-start the administration and boost President Bush's rock-bottom approval ratings, but have those efforts come too late to salvage the presidency? A prominent GOP pollster thinks that may be the case.

"This administration may be over," Lance Tarrance, a chief architect of the Republicans' 1960s and '70s Southern strategy, told a gathering of journalists and political wonks last week. "By and large, if you want to be tough about it, the relevancy of this administration on policy may be over."

A new poll by RT Strategies, the firm headed by Tarrance and Democratic pollster Thomas Riehle, shows that 59 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush's job performance, while 36 percent approve -- a finding in line with other recent polls.
In six months we will have our first, of two, referendum on the Bush administration -- the mid-term elections. The Dems don't want to say it out loud, but the election also provides the first opportunity to oust Bush. For the thousands of people whose lives have been changed forever by this administration it may be too little, too late. But, it will be fun to watch!
