Yup. I don't doubt that the reason the Nation's circ is at a record 180,000 now is anti-Bush feeling. I suspect there's some internal anxiety about Hillary or some other Dem taking office in 2009. But, like I always say, that will be good for the more radical left as people discover how little will change - though it may take a year or two for the disillusionment to set in.
