Glenn Close as Cruella de Ville couldn't get off a laugh like that.
If the president and his Iraq policy were as unpopular as the so called polls say he is, I would think she would be out front demanding impeachment hearings.
This is support for my view that while 44 percent approve of the job the president is doing that perhaps as many as 20 percent more voters think he is not being aggressive enough in Iraq.
I keep going back to the last time we had a war president. Nixon's job approval was in the mid 30's when he ran for reelection in 1972. But on election day he got 60.7 percent of the votes. It turned out that only 35 percent agreed with his policy in Viet Nam but an additional 25 percent thought he should carpet bomb north Viet Nam and do what ever it took to defeat North Viet Nam quickly.
When it came time to vote those voters could not vote for cut and run McGovern. They voted for Nixon.
I find it quite telling that Pelosi is anti-impeachment and put out the word that if she is speaker Murtha will not be her main assistant.
That tells me that Pelosi knows that cut and run as a policy for the war in Iraq is not a winner at the polls.
I have for years told people that if you want to know what is happening look at who is changing campaign plans and why.
I think the research shows that most voters want to win in Iraq. That is why the president is investigating a new strategy to win.
It is also the reason that Pelosi is distancing herself from Murtha and is offering a pledge not to try to impeach the President. Murtha is Cut and Run. Her buddy Murtha has to be thrown over the wall in her attempt to win.
That seems to say this election is very close and perhaps even a slight edge in favor of Republicans. That is what the actual actions of President Bush and Nancy Pelosi seem to support.
The actual actions of the players in an election are far more accurate than media polls.
