Peggy is a great writer agreed, but as such she often has her head in the clouds. She has a very sensitive and ethereal spirit. That's all well and good, but it doesn't suit the rough and tumble of election politics. She's panicking, calling Bush bumbling and his base scared. I admit I was taken aback when this campaign started with Kerry's emergence, but it's time for all of us to get our footing. Be calm and patient like W is. Kerry is already beginning to get beat up, and the polls have stabilized. As for energizing the base, Bush doesn't need to right now. His enemies are doing that for him. Bush is letting the fight be brought to him - hence the slow leaking of Guard info to keep them crazy, the waiting for them to bring up Vietnam so as to open up Kerry for his antiwar stances. Things are starting to roll...

Peggy wasn't panicking, she was just pointing out Bush's strengths and weaknesses. Peggy knows what it takes to win.

Brilliant. You are either completely right on this or, think of this possibility..... Who started all this hubbub about Bush and AWOL? --- Michael Moore/Wesley Clark/McAuliffe/THE CLINTONS !!!!

I think the Clintons want Kerry to be injured coming into the Democrat Convention so The Beast, Hillary can walk in to save the day. Why would they be making a stink about this AWOL crap this early? Why/ - because it has succeeded in drawning out all this dirt on Kerry and VVAW very early in the year!

BTW, Peggy Noonan is a great woman, a little too whispy and affected on TV, but all in all, she is a great positive to Bush and the Republican cause, and anyone who says otherwise is a fool, IMO.

By the way again just to loosen things up a little - Tom DeLay got in a beauty last night on one of the TV political talkshows (I watch them all, so I just think it was Scarborough Country) They werre talking about the sick halftime show at the Super Bowl, and DeLay said, "That halftime show makes me yearn for the days when the only thing obscene on TV was Dan Rather." LOL!!!
