1. Eh, I don't know.

Dubya has been looking pretty scared lately, in my opinion, and the Republican attacks have had the stench of desparation about them. I think they'd be more confident if they really had him. Of course, I wouldn't put it past them.

Sort of off-topic, but I also am of the opinion that it won't do them as much good as they might think.

2. No, you're correct

Desperation in the White House as Rice and Rove hold their daily meeting

“Bad news, Karl.”

“What’s up, Condi?”

“The convention bounce wasn’t as good as initially reported. Zogby and Gallup have the race in a statistical tie. We’re back where we started”

<Rove nods head>

“You know what this means don’t you?”

“Yes, Plan B”

“Operation October Surprise”

“What exactly do we do? Another false terror alert? Uncover the WMD we planted?”

“Might not be effective enough. Time to roll out the big gun.”

“Defrost Osama?”

“Yes”

“It’s just as well. I was getting spooked knowing he was being kept down there”

“Mr. Vice President, about the polls. It looks-“

“For the final time Karl, f*ck off! I’ve already told you the Halliburton investigation is taking all my time!! “<disconnects>

<to Rice>

“Never mind, I’ll tell Bush myself.”

<Rice nods and turns to leave>

“Condi-”

<Rice turns back>


“ -about Friday night, you think you and I could…”

“ Karl, we’ve been through this before. I’m not interested. Please find someone else to fulfill your jungle fever fantasies.”

<Rove lowers his head and paws at his desk as Rice turns away and quickly walks out>

3. They would actually have had to show some

competenence to pull that one off so I don't think so. They can't even secure Iraq and Iraq was their baby all the time.
