There's no guarantee the networks would cover a prime-time speech.

That's okay. Slow and steady. Dubya's got the State-of-the-Union coming up in about six weeks.

B.S. That's when a President uses the bully pulpit and uses 'political' pressure. Other Presidents have found ways to get their message out.

But, first, the current Administration has to ask. If they don't ask for prime time, they certainly aren't going to get it. A speech only covered by cable news during a typical workday is destined to get scant coverage.

Amen to what you said. Slow and steady and then for the State of the Union, how about some shock and awe!
