Bush led Al Gore in the polls for months during the 2000 election, but the instant he temporarily slipped behind, he dubbed himself the underdog. Bush is the overwhelming favorite this time, but his political team is already working hard to reset political expectations. Last week the G.O.P. leaked a deliberately gloomy memo from the President's pollster, Matthew Dowd. "President Bush's approval numbers will again fall back to more realistic levels fairly quickly," Dowd wrote, "and in head to head polls in the months ahead President Bush will at times probably be behind potential Democrats."

If results fall short of that goal--as some industry analysts predict they will--insiders say the division will at least be dressed...
President Bush warned on Tuesday that "time is running out" for Saddam Hussein to disarm and avoid a U.S. invasion. But while the clock is ticking, there are signs that the alarm may have been reset. Where once the assumption had been that the January 27 Security Council report by UN weapons inspectors would mark a moment of decision, the Bush Administration now appears to have concurred with its allies and with the inspectors that it would not be treated as a deadline. U.S. and British officials have since the weekend stressed that the inspectors would be given time...
