To those who think that the President will be in trouble from Democrat and media attacks, I would urge them to consider the following.

Poll after poll shows that over half the American people like George Bush. It is not a common thing in politics. But president Bush connects with people. Everyone but the left likes him. I will readily admit the left hates hin. Yhe left is about 1/3 of the voters. The right and center are 2/3 of the voters. That two thirds likes George Bush.

With that said consider this.

When I say someone you don't like is a rotton dirty blank blank, you will tend to say "Right on!". When I say someone you DO LIKE and ADMIRE is a rotton dirty blank blank, what is your reaction?

The answer to that question will tell you why attacks on Dubya will fail.

Given your record for being spot-on, what is your reaction to Fineman's report that Howard Dean will take on the President in a response speech? Yes, that will increase his stature relative to the other Dems, but is it a mistake in the long run? Personally, I think it's another one of those moments during which Karl Rove will have the VCR's recording. However, given your thesis that Dean will do what he must do to get the nomination and worry about the general when it comes, does it not make good tactical sense for him to do this?

Be Seeing You,

Your posts are almost as reassuring as SOD Rumsfeld's briefings. (^;

BINGO, The tactics the 9 nattering nabobs are using is a losing one. Comments like "Bush is a miserable failure" might get the most applause from the frothing at the mouth socialist left wingers, but the everyday Americans don't appreciate it one bit.

I was up in New York 2 weeks ago and was talking to a guy who said he didn't vote for George W. Bush but plans to in 2004, he said .... "I didn't like him even a little, but after the way he has answered the attacks on this country and rallied the nation to go after those responsible and he's earned my support. I'm not sure Al Gore could have done what George W. Bush did" I was talking to an off duty New York City Police officer

Excellent point, my friend.
