Bush's Light Going Out In Georgia?

When the president can't fill this venue in Crackerville, Georgia, no amount of spin can help.

Bush campaigns for Republicans in rural Georgia, find (sic) lots of empty seats

PERRY, Georgia President George W. Bush spent a second day in a row campaigning in rural Georgia, targeting a shrinking slice of America where Republicans think he still can help their cause in next week's elections.

Bush is spending the final days of the campaign in small town venues, where White House officials hope he can inspire people to vote Republican on Nov. 7.

Polls show Republicans struggling to hold onto power in Congress as voters express dissatisfaction with Bush's policies in the Iraq war and with congressional scandals. Democrats hope to capitalize on those views by winning control of the House of Representatives, where they need to pick up 15 seats, and the Senate, where they need a gain of six. All 435 House seats and 33 of the Senate's 100 seats are at stake.

Bush didn't fill the arena at the Georgia National Fairgrounds on Tuesday — plenty of seats were empty in the back along with nearly half of the vast floor space. But those who came out for the rally were enthusiastic, applauding his calls for tax cuts and against gay marriage. "We don't want Washington Democrats running the House of Representatives," Bush said from a stage decorated with hay bales, pumpkins and a billboard-size American flag.

Washington Democrats?

Isn't Bush a Washington Republican?

What a crock!
