WASHINGTON - Iraq, Katrina, CIA leak, Harriet Miers. Things couldn’t possibly get any worse for President Bush.

Wait, they just did.

Bush put his wispy political prestige on the line in the Virginia governor’s race and lost Tuesday when the candidate he embraced in a last-minute campaign stop was soundly defeated. While there are many reasons for Jerry Kilgore’s defeat, chief among them his poor campaign, giddy Democrats said the Virginia race as well as a Democratic victory in New Jersey prove that Bush is a political toxin for Republicans.

“The arrogance of saying, ‘I’m the Great George Bush. I’m coming to Virginia in the 12th hour and pulling Kilgore’s bacon out of the fire.’ I think he rallied Democrats with that move,” said Steve Jarding, a Democratic political consultant who helped elect Virginia’s current governor, Mark Warner.

“Democratic voters said, ’I’ll send you a message, George Bush, if that’s what you want.”’

Go Virginia

Looks like it's turned into political debt. Too bad for him, he and his cronies in Congress just outlawed political bankruptcy.

for any GOP candidate. Watch him quickly become the forgotten man of the party. After this the only way a GOP candidate will appear on the same stage as * will be if the Secret Service ties them to a chair.

Everything they touch for the next 3 years will turn to shit. I want them out there stumping hard for every Republican who is running for office. It will only help the Democratic candidates to have then stumping for the neocons.
