Or as I would put it, not a lot of swing voters see a good reason to change leaders yet, even though they would probably like to get rid of Shrub.
The Big K had better give them a reason or two pretty soon. If it is true, as the rumor has it, that a large segment of the ruling class wants regime change, they might even be up for pulling some dirty tricks on Shrub to grease his path back to Crawford, though I can't imagine what they'd be.
