The trouble with centrists...

New Donkey is shocked at survey results showing that,in a hypothetical presidential race, George W. Bush trounces George Washington 62%-28% among Republicans (and what happened to the other 10% -- were they afraid the poll was some kind of loyalty test?):

Depending on what happens during Bush's second term, he is almost certain to go down in history as a president comparable to William McKinley at best (the symbol and vehicle for a political realignment he did little or nothing to cause) or Warren G. Harding at worst (the amiable front-man for a feeding frenzy of corruption and national irresponsibility).

The problem with guys like Kilgore is that they are far, far too generous to Bush and refuse to recognize the actually revolutionary character of this administration. For which I hold Bush responsible.
