After a victorious showing in last night’s elections, Sen. John McCain made a trip to the White House today where President Bush endorsed the senator’s run for president. Both the Republican and Democratic parties seemed please about this. The Republicans see this as an opportunity for President Bush to help McCain unite conservatives.
“Despite overall approval ratings hovering just above 30 percent, Bush receives far higher marks from conservatives, and the McCain campaign thinks the push from Bush will bring the party in line behind their presumptive nominee.”
The Democrats are happy to see the Republican nominee associated with the current President in quite the opposite light: The unpopular president will probably steer people away from McCain.
"[McCain’s] embraced the Bush tax cuts that he voted against. He was against them being temporary; now he wants them being permanent. That's like marrying a girl you didn't want to date. He is rushed to Bush's Social Security plan, even disavowing his own Social Security plan on his own Web site. He has now become Bush's third term," [Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Paul] Begala said.

Funny how i thought the exact same fuckin' thing.
A third term of Bush would be fine by me.
Actually, Bush received 10th place in a recent poll of top presidents by American citizens; viewing him in a negative light might be a product of the media.
