From NBC's First Read:
Nearly lost in this week’s intense scrutiny of Howard Dean was this piece of political news: Per the latest Washington Post/ABC poll, just 50% approve of Bush’s job in the US campaign against terrorism -- equaling his lowest mark on an issue that’s considered by many to be his greatest strength. It was a drop of six points since April, and 11 points since the beginning of the year. Moreover, there’s today’s front-page news of the Justice Department IG report suggesting failures and missteps by the FBI to detect the 9/11 plot.Yep, Bush is tanking. But leading Democrats on the Hill, like Joe Biden, started the week worrying about Howard Dean. That set off the media frenzy....and of course, that meant the media missed the big story.
Attack the GOP, Howard. They deserve it. They want to create a theocracy in America...and they hate gays. For that alone, the GOP deserves to be kicked around.
And, in case Biden et. al. haven't realized it....they played right in to the GOP strategy AGAIN. So, the news was about Democratic in-fighting instead of Bush's failures. Good job. That is just another example of why they are in the minority.
