As of this date less than 40% of Americans polled believe that the President is going a good job in Iraq, so the media is doing a good job of convincing us that “Bush’s war” is not only lost but hopeless.

I'm not surprised by that number - the MSM "more bad news" onslaught has been fierce. I have to search the net to get accurate & balanced (like daily successes) analysis re Iraq, and what I'm hearing is good. I hate to say it again, but Bush's comm team has been fumbling again - they seem incapable of driving the message home to voters re Iraq.

"few administrations in American history have boasted so many topnotch political pros. And seldom has any team of pros been so ineffectual in issues that involve defusing their political foes. Activate the base? They can do it. Power politics? They can do it. Head off political confrontations? They seemingly don't have a clue."

I don't know who that last quote came from, but it sounds like some MSM'er lamenting that the Administration won't play their game.
Once the Administration engages the MSM in a p*ssing contest, they lose by sheer weight of numbers.

I would also add that for people who don't have a clue, their ship of state seems headed fairly unrestricted in the direction they want it to go.
When the MSM has to oversample Democrats by 10 points to hurt them, somebody is scared, and I don't think it's the bush team.
