And that "Night of the Stars" thing that was on all the networks the other day! GAG. I can still hear Julia Roberts saying something to the effect of "Republican coming between repulsive and repugnant" or some such insulting remark. The minute we start suffering casualties, the unity will most likely fall apart.
I would love to be proven wrong.
That won't happen ... Bush doesn't operate that way. I've seen his face - and the demeanor of his advisors and lieutenants - and I see a profound understanding of the mortal threat this beast presents to civilized life, and an absolute resolve to do what is needed to destroy it. This is above polling and politics, and I'm sanguine that Bush has the trust of Americans, and the savvy, to keep it above rancor and politics. The Democrats are going to suffer badly if they try to demagogue this historic challenge. Americans are paying attention now, they'll redouble their focus when they get their 401K quarterlies, and Democrats NEVER flourish in an environment where American's are engaged and paying political attention.
