I admit it could go either way. But if President Bush puts one in Hussein's ear and something more than anemic growth happens by the end of next year, I think it will work out.
Bush is not going to stop pushing for the minority vote. He truly believes that all men are created equal and endowed by the creator with rights and that every life is a precious one. Bush is the face of the party, not Lott.
And that is the important thing, and the right thing. I don't know who wrote Bush's speech this week, but that kicked ass. Every day that this country was segregated (or worse, had slavery) we were betraying the very tenets our nation was founded upon.
