The dialogue between Bush and Sheehan is irrelevant...it is how it looks to the great middle out there in the heartland. I'm not naive enough to think either of the two speakers will change one iota, but there are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of Americans who did support Bush earlier on who are now watching and deliberating anew. The polls indicate that some of those folks have started to drift from his camp to undecided or toward an unfavorable stance on the war. If GWB wants to appear aloof and insensitive he can keep doing what he is doing and people (like my sister-in-law, who supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and now is angry about his long vacation and seeming insensitivity to this mom right outside his door) will continue to drift away.

I think to say those that supported him before will continue to do so and vice versa is failing to see the all important group....the ten percent stuck right in the middle.
