Bush has got to start getting out there and start campaigning . .

What do you think that trip to Iraq was? Oh, it definitely was a sound, morale-boosting visit by an honorable Commander-in-Chief as well, but there's nothing that says doing the right thing can't help the campaign, too. From the tax cuts he pushed at the start of his presidency through the judicial appointment that force Democrat hypocrisy to show to the prescription drug benefit, he's been doing things to get re-elected since the moment he took office.

And that's a good thing, because he believes that using the power of the Presidency to do what he thinks is right is the best way to get re-elected. I wish he'd control spending better, and I really wish he'd make more of an issue of the stalled judicial appointments, but don't think he's not campaigning.

I meant seriously campaigning. I don't think that the trip to Iraq was done for votes. I believe Bush did that because he cared for our troops and wanted to boost their morale during the holiday. I really meant getting out there and riding across the U.S. and campaigning like he did in 2000. People want to see him in person pressing the flesh! That is the only way to get votes.
