(11,441 posts)Unlike DU, not all Americans have Bush fatigue. Immigrants are not a monolithic voting block. Some Idiot Americans would vote for a third Bush because of the "historic value." Pick the right running mate, and it could happen. As always, though, "it's the economy, stupid." And turnout -- which voters are the most motivated?
Republicans completely control how many states now? 24? And 31 Executive Mansions, IIRC. They're not afraid.
