And the Democratic-led Congress has a job approval rating of 12%. That's less than 1/2 of what his is. So, what's your point?

Problem for Dems is----GW isn't running again; they are.

Unfortunately, I fear that many of the new voters do not remember how they turned after getting that vote.

I really have to wonder about the intelligence of a person who votes for a candidate because he moved closer to where the voter wanted him to be after the campaign got under way!
This guy has more flip flops than John Kerry!

By moving to the right he gains voters without losing any from the left.

Exactly right! Because he has won the primary he can bend on his principals because his liberal constituancy has little choice but to vote for what they consider "the lesser of the two evils"

That's nothing new. Every candidate before Obama, regardless of party had to appeal to the independent voter to put him over the top.

Without losing any from the left? Why is that? Because they don't really believe what they say on the left?
