Tom, <<If you're lunch friends are betting on a Bush victory in November>>
... the tide seems to be turning, slowly, but turning.
<< - well, what do you think? >>
... Yup, that works, asking a direct question to extract a straightforward answer, not so much on what is, but on what one believes.
I think the election is Bush's to lose, and he is doing a perfectly adequate job towards exactly that, losing.
I had commented to CB way back in 2000, noting that Bush is a light weight, but CB assured me that Bush is simply surrounded by clever advisors.
In any case, whatever happens and however they happen, I do not actually believe Bush losing will make one iota bit of difference in the way of understanding or in the manner of solution. Destiny has a lot of momentum, Fate has a strong arm, and the Calling is irresistible.
