I don't know who orchestrated all this but having Pelosi come before Bush was brillant - for Bush that is. Contrast the Dems and Bush's message. It's extraordinary. W is so optimistic and inspiring and the Dems are just nasty and depressing. If Pelosi thought she could preempt W, then I hope she continues to try!
Yeh. The Democrat plan? Print out welfare checks to those who don't pay taxes. Yeh, swell idea -- NOT!
