Hey, we weren't supposed to win the first time either; but some of us believe in the power of prayer.

Also, Bush and Rove aren't dummies.

Your pessimism is not American. Americans believe anything good can be accomplished.

Yes, we were.

Bush was ahead in the polls until the Dems revealed the DUI conviction just before the election.

The result was that several million Christian conservatives who had intended to vote for Bush didn't, and he lost the popular vote which he should have won handily.

Also, Bush and Rove aren't dummies.

I'm not so sure Rove is as smart as he's cracked up to be.

He had Bush doing last-minute campaigning in New York and California instead of statres where he had a chance.
