giving the devil his due

[Doctor_J]

i always thought of rove of being just plain evil, but it appears that there's a little evil genius about him. He has managed to turn Kerry's heroism into a negative, and *'s cowardice into a positive. This is no mean feat.

It's the BFEE vs america, and the BFEE is winning.

1. At least in the coporate press

At one point, the Times actually quotes Bush strategist Matthew Dowd saying it was "a distinct possibility" the president would emerge from Labor Day with a lead in the polls. This is news? This is front-page news? Given the obvious fact that the race remains so close and Republicans held their convention second, which meant they'd likely enjoy a bump in the polls on the eve of Labor Day, any serious election analyst had to assume Bush might enjoy a lead come Labor Day.

So the question remains, why did the Times run a Page One story speculating about the effects of the Republican Convention, while quoting optimistic Republican strategists, if that same story wasn't worth covering coming out of Boston?

2. He just uses what works on simple minds

Negativity, smears, lies...to see what is really behind the curtain would scare any reasonable Bush supporter back to lucidity.

I think too that Independent voters are only Independent because they are either too uninformed or too wishy-washy to see, or want to see, distinctions and run with them.

3. I just ordered "Bush's Brain" from Amazon

and I know it will give me nightmares for years to come. Have been wondering if his new visibility lately is to shup up all the speculation about his evil genius. After all, after seeing how wimpy he looks and his soft-spoken persona, how could people possibly believe that shrubya has a puppet master like himself? Yeah, he's a genius, all right. I loved the sign in the protest march, "Don't re-elect Rove!"
