Bad politics because he is not pandering to a minority? He will win again, not because he is truly representive of working class, etc America, but because he appears to be at least doing something for them.
It is the same with John Howard over here. The media screemed and screemed about his tough stance on assylum seekers, and claimed he would loose votes, but in a matter of a week he gained about 30% more of the vote and won by a landslide.
The Democrats and Labor (our equivelent) can keep claiming they represent the working class, and they can keep pandering to the little leftist idealists, but the truth is Bush and Howard have already got their vote.
