If you will remember, right after the speech Kerry, Reid, and assorted pundits like Matthews were very negative. Suddenlly, yesterday, all of that stopped.
I don't think they had a change of heart. I think the numbers were in the basement and now they are doing damage control while they think of another way to attack the President. (Moon-bats like Cindy Sheehan don't count.)
We just have to be ready for the next attack, because as sure as God made little green apples, there is going to be another one.
I agree with your analysis.
Add to it the fact that the rats want to appear reasonable and bipartisan right now so that they have some credibility when they begin the Borking process of the next Supreme Court nominee.
DING! DING! We have a winner.
As soon as the DNC found that they were damaging themselves politically, their 'principles' changed. Ooooops, bashing isn't working, let's make nice-nice.
Just a thought:
Brazile is part of a generation that hasn't been tested. I hope you understand what I mean. There is an exhilaration to facing a crisis. There is something very energizing about being called to "step up to the plate."
Libs don't have that "can do" attitude...but all of a sudden...when it happens to THEM...they find resources in themselves they never knew they had.
I'm not naive...Brazile is the most partisan person around. I just think there's going to be a whole new generation of folks out of Katrina who will say, "We accomplished something." And there will be pride about that. The Dems don't understand that that is where you get self-esteem.
...The DNC must have taken a poll on their response....
I think you are correct. The overnight change from the mayor,the governor, the talking heads and Dem politicos is just a bit too "Dramatic".
The stupid MSM is still kissing Farakan's butt but they'll read the memo soon.
Hmmm...trust but verify. Regardless of the money hook- she seems sincere to me. She COULD have expressed her support of the president's plan without being nice.
I think she may be having an American First moment...(last word is key). Let's hope sensible libs (trying to think who they might be) take her lead and focus on the solution.
We'll see...
Well they say the DumRat PtB are the ones that are "divided" at this point. The last couple times i've heard Brazile speak she sounded like she belonged to the less lefty side of the party.
I don't see or hear her much so this could be a misconception. I'm usually pretty cynical.....
Too bad there are those who are unwilling to see the President a man of character and heart, doing the right thing without regard for the 'elites' on BOTH sides.
She knows that red and blue map is about urban folks whose cities don't work. When the President acknowledged the inequity in NO and promised not to rebuild in that image, when the folks ABC interviewed right after the speech endorsed his vision, Brazile knew the politics of the situation on the ground don't favor the Democrats. The time is not right for them to stand up and reflect on where decades of their leadership has led. What has to be more troubling for them though is that the ideas and promises that have led to such a loyal voting block have been revealed to be bankrupt. I'm sure they'd like to contain that like one would a chemical spill. Is it any wonder she says it's time to be Americans?

You say it's poll numbers, not heart. I say that it's heart - in the sense that poll numbers are the Democrats' heart. See my tagline . . .
LOL! I caught Reid and Landrieu on TV saying solemnly that this is too big and too important for partisan politics . . . The last thing anyone wants is partisan politics here . . . No one feels more strongly than they that this is beyond partisan politics, etc., etc., etc. I almost barfed.
(I loved Rush on the speech -- our big chance to prove to the unconvinced that conservative policies will work while 40 years of liberal policies got us here.)
