Way to Go, Northeast! A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll found that, in the Northeast, George Bush has a 28 percent approval rating. 28 percent! Not only is that 12 points below his national average, it's just really, really, really low. (I doubt that even Jimmy Carter was ever at 28 percent anywhere.)

The president is so unpopular that he's going to bring his party crashing down with him come this November. And you can't help but think that Dick Cheney speaking out on Joe Lieberman's behalf didn't do Lieberman any good. If I were Ned Lamont, I'd put up a new ad right away: "Joe Lieberman: The Man Dick Cheney Wants to Reelect"....  ¶ 8:03 AM
