And it emphasizes one thing that I've been saying since the memos came out: this is going nowhere. Five years ago, we were in the midst of a Presidential election, and Bushco won that year with even greater numbers than he got in 2000.

The mushy middle of the American people just doesn't want to have to think about this issue. It doesn't affect their wallets, so they just don't care.
