Inevitability

I'd like to point out once again that Bush is vulnerable and the outcome of the 2004 race is far from certain. Right now, according to a CBS/NY Times poll, Bush would lose to an unnamed Democrat. Bush's approval rating is also falling in several different opinion polls. The political climate changes from week-to-week and so it is foolish to try make long-term predictions. Take what's happening in Iowa, for example. All along it looked like it would be Gephardt and Dean, but now Edwards and Kerry have come out of nowhere, after many (including myself) had more or less written them off.
