The President is very likable, Howard Dean even says that he likes the President (Interview with Time, I don't recall the issue tho). That's mainly why I think quite a few more votes will go to Dubya. Because right now, to Joe Voter (or Jane Voter as the statistics show) the Democrats are seen as guys who are squabbling and just plain doing the classic finger-pointing and name-calling game while Dubya is ignoring it for the most part and getting on with running the country.

GWB is a shoe in for 2004 unless something really nasty happens that he gets blamed for. One theory is that the dems want to keep the slate clean for 2008 so Billary can run, something they couldn't do if a democrat wins in 2004. Also I doubt very much that Hillary would want to go 1-1 vrs Bush right now. So they send out some sacrificial lamb, make sure he can't win, and try again in 2008 for real.
