It’s hard to travel across the country these days without seeing an old familiar bumper sticker: “Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.” Perhaps the slogan rang true for many progressive voters in this highly partisan, highly charged and highly polarized electorate. But, if the bumper-sticker crowd believes it refers to George W. Bush, they are sorely mistaken.
Sen. John Kerry can win this election by understanding that he is running against a shrewd, clever and an extremely intelligent opponent who was trained in political combat by the late GOP strategist Lee Atwater.
After I read Ms. Brazille's Newsweek article this morning, I was worried that the Dems finally realized that Bush wasn't stupid. Mr. Raines has put my mind at ease.
ACtually, Donna Brazille has one of the sharper minds in the democratic party today.
Just as a truly great warrior does not have to tout his bravery.
