Where's Rove? Where's the RNC? God, I really hate this. It's almost like Bush and Co. want to lose. No countering (forget those pointless "memos" they release that no one but the faithful follow), no attacking. Ugh, I hate it here in California!
Everything is fine. Panic at this stage is not necessary. If this is the best that the NY Times and the Washington Post has then we should be happy. This is more of the same old diatribe. Bush should bring Karzi in from Afghanistan for a visit before the election to congratulate him on winning the election. What the Bush team needs to do is make some of their own postive news to create a wave crested on Nov 2nd. If they think they are running out the clock again like they seemed to be doing against Gore in 2000 then we can thank Karl Rove for another squeaker and maybe a loss. Right now I'm not alarmed. If I see Zogby showing a Kerry lead then I will begin to worry. Right now it looks like the President is gaining ground overall. Kerry is the mortician, telling people how bad everything is all the time certainly is going to wear thin especially since he delivers it in such an aweful monotone. I saw the contrast between him and Clinton today in Philadelphia and what was very clear is that Kerry is no Bill Clinton. Will Clinton help him? Maybe, but I think you will see more harm than good from him and Gore.
