(I learned that from watching the excruciatingly patient Karl Rove for the past five years.)

Astute political insight. Rove (and hence Bush) will wait until he's sees 'the whites of their eyes' 99.9% of the time. This is very unsettling to most, who start screaming "But they're shooting at us, shouldn't we shoot back or do something?!!".

I've been preaching the same sermon here for years - - polls, scandals, political missteps, "approval ratings".... in March, WHO CARES??

...or ...the movie Braveheart....when William Wallace & his men are keeping low and holding those very long poles they crafted....

..and Wallace says....Hold!.....Hold! ...and the enemy keeps riding closer and closer and closer....

..and the camera pans to some of his men, and they're glancing at him very nervously and you can imagine them thinking!....

DO IT!..NOW!...and

..yet, Wallace waits until the enemy is practically on them....

.and then...

..well, you know what happens!

I love that part.

That's my analogy of Lancey Howard's prediction! :)
