Despite what you or I think, this plays very well with the public. The large share of the voting population does not see a link between Abbas and Yassir; they only see "action" on "peace in the Middle East" and, in general, believe Bush is advancing that cause.

If you, or any Dem, thinks that the "middle east peace process" will be Bush's undoing, you haven't been reading the polls. Indeed, Bush has effectively neutered the Dems on this because the ONLY thing they can do would be to call for TOUGHER actions against Abbas and Arafat---which, of course, they won't do. So that issue is null and void.
