IMO, it's going to be a long, hard, process, because...everyone who was going to "get it", already apparently has.....
The remaining support is unwavering, and it is enough to sustain the pain and self destruction that the regime is putting the rest of the country, and the world, through. We've come a long way, though, if you look at the numbers at the bottom, in early 2002....
The last six months, even with all that has come to light, has elicited almost no change in the regime's support base, if polling numbers for Bush himself, are any indicator. IMO, because of this, it's almost hopeless. The dem's control of congress will trigger investigation which will bring much more disclosure, but that will probably only harden the faithful base of support.
I hate to say it, I see more war, and ultimately, the bankruptcy of the US treasury, before this is over. I think that the 2008 election will be very close.
It might not make any difference, if a "money party" candidate who runs as a democrat, wins the presidency.
