I want to see their internal polling. These aren't the actions of a gang of politicos who are confident about their chances in November.
Six months ago we thought Bush's catering to the illegal Latino vote and another nasty Hurricane season would cause trouble for the pubbies. The Hurricane season went bust and my guess is the border issue is curently a wash (since no amnesty was passed). That means that the War on Terrorism is the defining issue. Thus, Bush showed a strong hand this week and the Dems are running like roaches when the lights are turned on. I wonder how all those Rino's that recently attacked the President on Iraq feel now ?
Remeber something that was said to me on FreeRepublic...
If you are not taking flack you are not above the target. They are nervous as hell. And they know the truth is coming out and it scares them.
