GWB

GWB has been taking the conservative vote for granted, trying to court swing voters and make the republican party a true majority party the democrats won't be able to counter. If he does to much of this the base will wash their hands of it and it could backfire.

Liberman could have been a big threat but his issue flipflopping when he joined with Gore made me lose a lot of respect for him. Most democrats seem to hate him, part is that Liberman is more of a moderate Republican then a democrat, but I think there is some angst left over about the 2000 election they can't get past as well. Add to the fact that he is Jewish, which won't sit well with a large number of voters in some parts of the country, and he never had a prayer from the start. Its really to bad, I think if you strip the party retoric away from Liberman, he is a nice guy.
