No, presidents are only allowed to serve two consecutive terms, so Bush is done in '08.
Well with the amount of sketchy shit he's done to get into power in the first AND second place, i think he'll win the midterm and then probably have a 3rd shot at power, i mean he is unstoppable isn't he ?
Isn't he ?
He definitely will not have a third shot at power now. Even if the congress was fully republican it would be difficult, and after shit like Katrina, it would be tough for Bush to get reelected anyway.
Bush is becoming more and more stopable, that was the impact most of us hoped it would have. The congress has the power of oversight over the president. However, as far back as Bush has been president, he has had congress blindly backing him. This should stop now. The first sign of this stopping is the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. For our foreign friends who don't know who this is, Rumsfeld is one of the main architects of the war, a major asshole who keeps fucking the war up, and helped it happen in the first place. Everybody thought he should step down for years, by the end, even the military newspapers called for him to step down. But the stubborn and arrogant whitehouse wouldn't let him. He supposedly even put in a letter of resignation that was rejected. Now, with Rummy's resignation it has become clear that Bush is fucked, and he knows it.

Last I saw updated on here there were 3 states undetermined. 2 results are official now. MIssouri- Claire McCaskill (D) won. Montana- John Tester (D) won. As far as Virginia goes, its going to a recount, however the most recent information I have shows that challenger James Webb (d) has about a 6,000 vote lead on incumbent George Allen (R). Could a recount go towards the democrats favor for the first time? Have the democrats taken BOTH house AND senate this year? It looks good. I may start to feel a little less scared to live in America soon.
