How popular he's not

I had a conversation with one of my new coworkers, and it veered into politics. I asked him where his views stood, and he told me that he used to be a Republican, "..until Bush got into office."

I've been talking to a new friend online, and politics also came up in that conversation. She told me that she's not too political, but hates Bush.

Hell, another friend of mine, a Head Start teacher who that I have tried somehow to convince her to vote even if she thinks that her vote will do nothing, she hates Bush so much that I think she will vote next year!

Could Bush succeed in doing the impossible, what Nader couldn't do in 2000: Draw the non-voters out to the polls? Let's hope so.
