and yeah, once again it'll come down to the debates.
Just remember...if GWB handily wins the debates, the MSM will still say he lost them.
If OBL is captured, they'll tell you GWB had either nothing to do with it, or that the "timing" was political.
If the economy continues to surge, Dan Rather will say nothing about it, choosing instead to focus on "the 934th American war death in Iraq since the so-called 'mission accomplished.'"
Given the realities of our media/pop culture, I think a "landslide" win for Bush or any Republican for the rest of my lifetime is unlikely, although I remain cautiously optimistic he will win when all is said and done.
I think the attacks we've seen so far are just a warmup, and, unfortunately, I have no reason to believe GWB is going to deviate from his "new tone."
