All Dressed Down and Nowhere to Go

Chris Bowers has a good look at what those plummeting Bush numbers might mean for the country might mean in the short term and how to take them to the long term. His suggestion is that this is the time to make Bush the permanent face of contemporary conservatism. I think that this sort of tactic plays especially well to Republican weaknesses.

They tend to run personality-driven campaigns, so tying the ultimate political personality around their necks like a flaming tire seems fitting.

The only point with which I would disagree with Chris is whether attempting to push his numbers even lower would be counerproductive. I think there's always utility in getting more people to realize the complete failure that is George W. Bush.

While that can't be the totality of our push to change the country, it is a useful piece of political jujitsu.

But what do I know? I always back the loser. Here's a bonus pic of our kids from a road trip we took back in September.
