The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Or, if you go by opinion polls as an indicator he'd have been out of office after 7 years (by year 6 he was well under 50% in such polls).

Also note that I removed the electoral college for the Confidence votes, so the small state advantage is removed. Also, the vote is not do you want Bush or the Democrat but do you want Bush or a new election between a Democrat and a Republican. Saying no to Bush does not guarantee the office will change parties, I'm thinking this would weaken loyalty to the person.
