...major change now would seem a sign of weakness. The President is stubborn to a fault in support of his team. And there was enough good news for Republicans last week-the selection of John Edwards didn't help Kerry's standing in the polls very much; the Hollywood wing of the Democratic Party staged a Kerry fund raiser in New York City featuring a crude anti-Bush rant by Whoopi Goldberg-to give the President's strategists some hope.
