Ceci Connelly is convinced they never wanted to do that but looked at polling data and "came around" to that decision.
Ceci gets the dailytalkingpointsmemo fax and never deviates from it. Squawk! Squawk! So does Alan Colmes! So does Alan Colmes. Arwk! Arwk!

*checking in while getting kids ready for bed* This house is a Fox News house. Sadly though, the network of choice at my husband's work is CNN. We're working to change that...

If you don't think this presidency has re-election problems, get out and talk to people of all walks.

All last week I listened to emboldened partisans' personal trashings of the president. All week-end I read and watched gloom and doom predictions about the war in Iraq, and Bush's downward spiral in popularity.
For the most part, I think it's politically motivated "blood in the water" overkill, wishful thinking even, by sharks who've been feeding on the over-abundance of eagerly supplied polling data as news, and a steady diet of those awful prison pictures.
Neither of which is real news!
I could easily discount and discredit the motivation for much of it, as Larry Sabato so ably did in his latest "Crystal Ball". But I take seriously his dire warnings, and I hope the White House does too.
Shame on the networks for not showing the President's speech tonight live. "Equal time" should require it after the bad news they've emphasized for so many days.
(My surefire prediction du jour: Chris Mathews will get the speech all wrong. His immediate critiques are always way off base.)

You're all invited to guess if the cable ratings do better than the crap that the nets are showing...also,when the nets break in for their updates, will they start with the Dems comments first?

EVERYONE in the media, including GW's advance people, are DOWNPLAYING this speech. I hope this is NOT true, and I it would be a big dissappointment if the HEADLINE from this speech has something to do with the Abu Gharib prison story. Please don't let it be that!!!

I think the photos may have hastened it, but I think the plan all along was to rid the Iraqi people of that place.
I certainly don't think that the Bush administration operates by looking to the polls.
