GWB vs. Mega-Democrat

Some interesting insight from Patrick Ruffini on the generic “Bush vs. Democrat” poll:

What interests me the most is how poorly the individual Democratic candidates perform against the generic Bush vs. any ol' Democrat benchmark, which ABC/WaPo pegs at 53% Bush, 40% The Democrat. This added deficit hobbles even known quantities like Lieberman and Gephardt. Most importantly, it makes crystal clear something I've been saying for months: the generic Bush vs. Democrat question isn't the floor for Democrats. It's the ceiling.

After watching some of the Democrats Debate on C-Span last night, I can honestly say there isn’t one that could come within an arms-length of Bush.
