Polls

So one source is claiming that Fitzgerald has already indicted Karl Rove and perhaps the reason for it not yet going public is they grand jury has not yet decided how many counts to charge him with. But the biggest news around the blogsphere is whether this news is good or not.

Will it make any real difference?

Likely not. Although it is always a mistake to count out any politician, especially it seems a conservative Republican - remember Nixon - I am pretty tempted to say the recent percipitous drops in the money markets could mean the final abandonment of this president by his formerly loyal supporters. In my last blog I suggested that the free fall of his poll numbers, no matter where you are on the political spectrum, mean bad news for the entire country. And the stock market, as my financial advisor likes to say, is like taking the country's emotional temperature.

I'm not sure just what it means that some polls put his popularity smewhere below 30%, but even for yellow dog Democrats like me (one who would vote for a yellow dog before voting for a Republican), having a president so lame a duck is a little scary.

Remember when Clinton was under siege for his blow-job and there was talk og his unleashing a strike against Bin Laden? People said he was considering that only to boost his ratings. If Bush were to try to start a war against Iran, can you imagine?

Well, I have just talked myself into being glad for his low ratings!
