Detroit, I can't tell you whether I would vote for him now, as it always comes down to what the alternative is.
But, honestly, I wouldn't even have voted for him in 2004 if he'd been running against someone else.
I feel that he reneiged on all of his promises/platforms from the 2000 campaign, or at least the ones I cared about. I suppose he can use the excuse that 9/11 changed everything; but that excuse gets kind of old.
I think that the way that he acceded to the presidency, combined with Iraq, combined with his complete and utter inability to relate his thoughts in any coherent manner, will together leave him with a rather pathetic standing in history.
On the other hand, I suppose he does have two years to redeem himself.
