Poll question: How much political capital does B*sh have left?
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 09:06 AM by dsewell
"I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style. ... I've earned capital in this election -- and I'm going to spend it for what I told the people I'd spend it on, which is -- you've heard the agenda: Social Security and tax reform, moving this economy forward, education, fighting and winning the war on terror." (GW Bush, 11/04/2004)

Alrighty. After four months of spending, how much political capital does the President have left?

1. Look out for * to play that tax reform card
Prediction: Major, major battle ahead!

Lame duck or not, this one will be a fight to the death.(Metaphorically of course - don't want the SS hauling me away - never to be heard from until they dismantle Guantanamo. :evilgrin:)

All the chips will be up for grabs.

5. Depends on whether he captures Bin Laden...
Until then, not much at all.
