(14,459 posts)34. Maybe I'm not saying this right
The "professionals" of the board haven't voted. I know of at least 5 that are bombing the boards that aren't on that list. The usual number Bush could count on was 25-30%: 1%, their lackeys and wannabees(5%), The people in the services(10%) and 10-15% from RW Fundies.
Without the fundies, you only get 16%. If the 5-10 I'm thinking of were to vote now, that would put it somewhere around there.
Someone either didn't do the math on this(You need the 25-30% + uncertainty to pass bad policy safely), or they didn't care.
