Interesting concept; keeping track of campaign promises. What's missing are allowances for contemporary events and circumstances which will exert considerable influences on promises. Not to mention that we have yet to learn all the "little" surprises Bushies have undoubtedly left for us--including a broken government. How shall this watchdog group handle the plethora of coming events?
Where was this "hold-his-feet-to-the-fire" outfit when Bush-Cheney made a right turn into radical conservatism immediately after the 2000 election? Paraphrasing Cheney--when he was reminded of their campaign promises: "Back then we were running for office. Now that we're in office, we can do what we want."
