...message way too premature. As U.S. soldiers continued to die in Iraq over the summer and fall, the President's perfect photo-op turned into perfect fodder for his opponents. When footage of Bush on the carrier did turn up in a TV ad, it was used by a Democrat to attack the President's handling of Iraq...

I suspect this reflects desperation as much as principle. The Bush Administration is outsmarting the Democrats at every turn. The economy seems to be recovering. If Iraq is stabilized--a huge if--what will the Democrats run on? Their...
