The Gospel According to George
Did anyone else catch Bob Woodward on 60 Minutes last night? The Watergate veteran made Bush look pretty good two years ago in his first book about the warrior president, but he made it clear last night that any sunniness he once felt for the man has evaporated faster than a puddle in the Iraqi desert.
None of this--Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neill, and now Bob Woodward--seems to have an appreciable effect on the polls, which continue to show a close race between Bush and Kerry. But each time another one of these interviews runs on 60 Minutes, or people see another headline about Bush's unwillingness to reconsider his positions, it gets people talking. Anecdotally, based on what I've heard at gatherings of family and friends, I think the nation is engaged in a reconsideration of Bush. John Kerry, now is the time to go positive: give people an alternative that sounds both reasonable and optimistic. The American people are ready for it.
