This is as good as it's going to get for Bush. He can only go downhill from here - and he will.

Iraq is still a damn mess. Our guys and gals are still in danger there.

F9/11 will come out on video in October, prompting millions more to see what the fuss was all about. Even if it only sways 1%, that might be the margin of victory in November.

Howard Stern will only get louder on his show. I'm fully expecting his appeal to listeners to get even more direct in the final week of the campaign. If he's able to incite even a minor Ventura effect in a key state or two, that might make the difference.

Our GOTV operations are going to kick-ass this year. We've never seen such an intensity before.

In a recent poll, nearly 70% of Democrats say that they are "excited about voting" this year. When this poll was asked in 2000, only about half of that said they were excited. Turnout on our side will JUMP this year.. and that's not counting the aformentioned GOTV efforts.

So, yes, Bush might have his bounce in a few GOP-overrepresented polls. Let him have his moment; it will only be that much more enjoyable to see him fall from so high a position.
