I got sorta de-kos’ed by the response to the press conference over there. No understanding of the American street at all, they thought it would hurt Bush.
Much of Bush’s drop in the polls was because of discontent among
Republicans; Dems and Inds have hardly moved. So that sorta shit is
good for the base - and they need the base to come out in force in
November - but it doesn’t win any converts. Whenever I feel myself
falling into total political despair, which happens several times an
hour, I pull myself out by reminding myself that a good bit of the
country is a lot more enlightened and less reactionary than the
Republican base.
