About the Dems being so eager to "hang" this one on Bush, you are so right. I'm sick of hearing it. They DID say that if they can't dig anything up, they'll at least leave a question in the minds of the voters, and the press is cooperating with them. This morning, CNN news on my local radio gave an update on Enron and it was pretty concise and honest EXCEPT for such things as, "Bush, almost as an afterthought..."admitted that Enron had contacted the White House. Then it went on to say that Bush is trying to distance himself from the investigation. They also made much of the fact that Bush didn't "help" Enron when it was facing bankruptcy. If he had done that after accepting campaign contributions, then they'd be attacking him for selling out the White House just as his predecessor did.
Not sure how this will play out in the eyes of the public. If the final result is: They asked Bush for help, he said no, then that is what they will remember. And that's good for Bush.
