What do we learn here?

Strategery works. Bush is thinking and getting AHEAD of the PR game, and that is something the Dems have never been forced to deal with from a conservative politician before. Newt never did that, nor did a lot of others. He in essence, has determined that one can take out more flies by using honey as a lure as opposed to vinegar.

This is someone who also has good people backing him up (Rove, Racicot, and others), and he can trust them to stick with a plan. That counts for a lot more than people realize. The Dems are sputtering, and the Republicans would be awell-served to copy Bush's methods.

Exactamoundo, everyone sticks to the game plan and is one the same page, then we win in a landslide.

That is precisely why Dubya hates leaks so much..
