Politicians are usually most successful when they can contrast themselves with an opponent...The danger for the GOP is that the political dialogue is being structured less as a choice between Republican and Democratic ideas than as a referendum on Republican ideas alone.

I think we are doing marvelously at contrasting the sound, dynamic ideas put forth by the President with the obstructionism of the left.

Already Iraq is looking more & more like a success.

Privatization of SS is much more popular than the RATs would have you believe, and the reality is that public opinion is less important than Congressional action on this one.

Do not misunderestimate the president.

The Democrats have consistently underestimated this President. He's not running for re-election and doesn't have to worry about the polls. I think it'll be a very good year for him when its all over.
