His actual record doesn't matter, only the perception does. The electorate in this country is woefully uninformed. Bush has spent his whole first term trying to buy off almost every portion of the electorate, and I hope he stops during the second term when he doesn't have to worry about re-election. The only place he's really made a stand is in foreign policy, which seems to define Republicans/Democrats better than any opinion. His stance there will be enough for me to vote for him over any of the Democrats still in the race, but I really dislike his Nixon-esque attempt to buy off everyone.
