If Dems don't fight the 9-11 convention and here's-Osama NOW, we'll lose
We need to have our tougher surrogates scream the truth:That rove is playing the media like a fiddle. He's creating a story like a film director might--building tension and fear by slowly dripping out terror warnings, which the media magnifies by using them to fill the 24 hour cycle. This is combined with these new "efforts" to capture evildoers in Pakistan--Be afraid, but keep in mind the calvary is on the chase.

Then, when fear is built up to the breaking point, the climax and resolution: Osama is captured or killed. Everyone breaths a sigh of relief and Chimp goes triumphantly into his September 11 convention with a media love fest.

Rovie figures Chimp needs to stay about even until September 11--and the media is helping him every step of the way.

The Dems need to start saying "I hope I'm wrong, but the way they're playing up the fear, the way they're slowly dribbling out the info to keep the stories going seems a lot like a PR operation rather than homeland security. I wouldn't be surprised if this culminates in Osamas capture right when bush needs it the most, politically"

While they're at it they ought to start screaming about the delayed convention in NY. I mean, that's a no brainer, isn't it?

If the Dems don't plant the seeds of doubt now, Chimp will trot out osama and win by 2-3 points, I'd bet.
