What do the Democrats know, and why do they fear it?

Posted on 05/17/2002 10:20:19 PM PDT by McB.

Here’s my take on the democrats’ strategy to hammer away with “what did the President know, and when did he know it.”

The democrats know that taking such a critical stance against a popular president is risky, however they are faced with a two far more dangerous threats.

The democrats are bleeding potential voters in several critical segments; Women, Hispanics, Labor (male voters). One way to stop the bleeding is to tempt the republicans to dredge up Clinton failures in regard to Osama bin Laden. This will force voters to take a side not unlike the 2000 election. Hence, 50/50.

Dick Cheney will not run in 2004 due to health. President Bush is likely to pick Condoleezza Rice as he running mate and that ticket would further endanger the democrats' “safe” voter segments. This investigation will not touch Bush, however, the National Security Council’s Advisor; Condoleezza Rice will be the main target.

Today the President said:

“You know, what's interesting about Washington, it's a town -- unfortunately, it's the kind of place where second-guessing has become second-nature. The American people know this about me, and my national security team, and my administration: Had I known that the enemy was going to use airplanes to kill on that fateful morning, I would have done everything in my power to protect the American people. We will use the might of America to protect the American people.”

This President knows she’s the target.

Condi will not be invited to share a ticket with Bush.
She'll be lucky to make it through his first term
