Here is a WP article suggesting that Bush's unpopularity may be spilling over into the VA state governor's election.


This would actually be Give Up in action. One of the central tenets of the Give Up philosophy is that control of the federal government is likely to be out of progressives hands for a long time, so one should focus on keeping one's state blue until the Republicans make things so bad that people will finally see them for what they are. It is then interesting the Bush is doing such a bad job that dissatisfaction federally already may be leading to more progressive success in a Red state government. It is really amazing, Bush is putting Give Up to the test in fast forward. I thought it would take another Republican president before people figured it out, but we'll see.
