It strikes me, Dog, that President Bush needs to step up to a microphone and tell the world the exact story you put up here. Tell the whole world.....and suddenly the base is back and unified. Then carry on with the nomination. If all of this is true, he could inflict serious pain on his enemies from both sides of the isle. Tell the world that he is being threatened by Specter. Tell us that the good and decent judges who are known quantities have largely opted out because they don't want a contrived or real scandal because of youthful indiscretions or they don't want their families to have to endure the attack from Opposition Research. Prove to world in these terms that the G*****mn democrats don't care about their country or their countrymen. Expose them for the low-down, surley bastards that they are. He is the President and the people will hear him.
