But constant bad news from Iraq, where the U.S. death toll reached 104 last month -- the highest in nearly two years -- and persistent voter concerns about pocketbook issues like the high cost of health care and college tuition have neutralized whatever traction President George W. Bush's Republican Party had hoped for in Tuesday's congressional election.

Do you approve of President Bush's handling of the economy?
Yes: 27%
No: 70%
Not sure: 3%
(Note: NOT a scientific poll, but rather just representative of the people who responded to the poll web-site.)

All the Repubs have is an economy that nobody seems to care about.
Soldiers dying in Iraq, Iraq civil war, intelligence reports saying Bush's policy is INCREASING terrorism, a sky-rocketing national debt, North Korea (and for the record, trying to blame Clinton for something that developed SIX YEARS into Bush's presidency? ROFLMAO!), etc, etc, etc...
