"Looking toward 2006, Democratic partisans have been rejoicing in Bush&amp;apos;s Nixonesque poll numbers. Unlike 2002, when Bush the prodigious campaigner stumped for Congressional hopefuls in tight races, the race this November can&amp;apos;t be &amp;quot;presidentialized&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014;or so the story goes.\n\nThis piece from the Wall Street Journal is generating lots of buzz around the blogosphere: Look! Pennsylvania Rep. Curt Weldon doesn&amp;apos;t even want to be seen with Bush. With his poll numbers so low, even Weldon says of Bush: &amp;quot;there&amp;apos;s nothing the president can do to help me.&amp;quot;\n\nThat&amp;apos;s not exactly true, not by a long shot. For all his unpopularity, Bush hasn&amp;apos;t lost his gift for fundraising. The GOP strategy according to the Journal?\n\nSo far, they are putting Mr. Bush on the road to raise huge amounts of cash &amp;#x2014;the $100 million-plus he has raised exceeds the amounts he generated at this point in the past two election cycles &amp;#x2014;much of it for state and national committees that can, in turn, contribute to endangered candidates.\n\nThat&amp;apos;s an awesome war chest. Howard Dean can&amp;apos;t touch that. No wonder James Carville is nervous."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
