Talking to myself again.
Hey Charles...Bush just said this election isn't about Iraq. That might blow your theory.
Okay...go with me...Bush speculating on the elections yesterday is not going well.
Senator Clinton trying to show she can help in elections? Governor Rendell? The man is saying nothing! He makes no sense!
I think he is very upset. I can understand this. Just odd for a President, especially THIS one, to be so different than we've know him.
Okay, getting more wits.
He was saying that not everything was about Iraq. He was answering a question about quitting Iraq. I think Clinton did run a good race in New York, and Rendell ran a good race in Pennsylvania. He also said Casey ran a "good race", but said it was the turnout machine there that worked.
Stil, any thing he says that points it back to him takes it away from the democrats. And he's not bargaining on anything the democrats want. He is saying he'll listen to ideas, but won't adjust his positions now in the press conference.
Look, we are all upset and nothing Bush says will matter. He is trying to define his agenda, some of which we won't like and now will pass, like immigration, but he is trying to grab the agenda.
