One great thing Bush is doing, is the broad front strategy. He is hitting the dims on SS, judicial nominees, taxes, and foreign policy all at once. The dims are always full volume, full hate on any issue. Thus by presenting them with multiple challenges, he dilutes their response. They can only scream at the top of their lungs, they have no capacity beyond that.

Don't cut off a tail one inch at a time. The pain is the same with each cut, so go for the whole shebang at once.

I don't know if it was "The Plan" but it seems to be working.
