Your article on the president having lost confidence is not spot on. How do you know this? From one interview? Really the first one in his campaign? Wow, you are good. I saw a man who was doing his best to defend his position and who should not have to be. It is an example of the usual "I am going to vote for the president, but, column." I have read many of them recently. They go on to bash him for whatever mistake he made the day before or a year ago, or will tomorrow.

p>The country knew when they voted for him for president that he is not a glib speaker in some situations, If you want to go on the Russert program and defend being called a "deserter," fill your boots. The liberals are organized and working very hard to get rid of Bush as they say constantly and they may succeed, and if that is the result of this campaign, better hide because any smidgen of feeling secure and safe in America will be gone.... br> -- Carole Graham /p>

Tough medicine but dead nuts accurate. Many of Jed's words I'd thought to myself; some were new and startling but again: dead nuts.

A very smart guy I know wrote recently: "The only person who can beat GWB is GWB + Karl Rove." I'm beginning to see the wisdom in this.

Dubya has lost his confidence. His ears are no doubt being filled with election/political hissing all day long. He needs to rediscover his moorings, and if/when he does, the election will be his.

Duh! question of the day: what does SGO stand for. I thunk and thunk on it and came up empty. I'm sure it's so obvious that I'll be embarrassed but I need to know!

p>Thanks to Jed Babbin for this tremendous bit of tough love. May God be with us all, as we wrestle with principalities and darkness. br> --
