unelectable? That’s ridiculous.

That’s what I’m saying, too: he’s totally unelectable.

Are you using unelectable correctly in this context?

Ah yes, … you are

You may not like it, but he’ll certainly win another term. Ray C. Fair even sees him increasing a bit.

Ray C. Fair doesn’t know what he’s talking about mikehl. Everyone knows Bush is unelectable.

Hell , he hasn’t even been elected the first time yet!

I don’t understand why everyone’s saying “unelectable.” Why is everyone saying “unelectable”? I log on yesterday, and all of a sudden there are all these people saying “unelectable.” Who’s “unelectable”?

Huh. Number one hit is for a strongly pro-Dean cartoon. I don’t buy the “Hillary 2008” stuff myself.

Does anyone know if multiple links on the same page do any good?

He’s ineluctable. Unfortunately.
