Just wondering why you are obsessed with it?
I'm fixated on the perception because it severly undermines President Bush's authority and ability to get things done. That has a residual impact on the GOP in general.
Ohio - I think there's a danger in being myopic, as well, however. There's a lot of defensiveness here where there should be some reflection on how we're going to prove to our enemies that we can take it on the chin and protect our republic in a time of crisis.
Again, I refer to the feverish promotion of preparedness for large scale devastation started by Tom Ridge and echoed by others. What, exactly, IS the plan if a WMD goes off?
IS there a plan? It's an EXTREMELY important question to ask, in my humble opinion.
