...gambit didn't work because it's not what drives him anymore. Lines like "The road of Providence is uneven and unpredictable-yet we know where it leads: It leads to Freedom." were a tad more soaring that his riffs about asbestos litigation or the Thrift Savings Plan available to federal workers which, by the way, is an add on to Social Security for workers like GS-11s, not a replacement...
...Bill McGurn from The Wall Street Journal, was left trying to do a Gettysburg-style elegy, making sense from the blood spilled and rallying Americans to go on?

"Today, the people of Iraq have spoken to the world, and the world is hearing the voice of freedom from the center of the Middle East," the President said Sunday, greeting news reports that voter turnout had been greater than expected. Expectations, of course, had been gloomy, as the raging insurgency had effectively precluded most campaign activity, and voters...
