>>>A little pre-election panic perhaps?<<< Without going back to check, I believe it was in 2003 when the Senate was preparing to move legislation for a Department of Homeland Security and Mr. Bush was still against it. Eventually, he went with it once the political winds were in a clear direction. I've also noticed the White House is bolstering its position for invading Iraq by explaining that most supported it. Here is an example voanews.com Let's see if there are any improvments in Mr. Bush's approval ratings from this in the next couple of weeks or so. If there is, the next logical move is for the White House to praise itself for bringing democracy to Iraq after the December elections in Iraq. After that, its on to the State of the Union address that I already mentioned and something similar to the Senate's wishes. >>>Did you notice that Santorum couldn't re-arrange his schedule to be with the President in PA?<<< Mr. Santorum has some problems. In neighboring New Jersey, Mr. Corzine was linking his opponent to Mr. Bush throughout the campaign for governor. I don't think Mr. Santorum missed that. For Mr. Santorum to win next year, he has to run a near-perfect campaign and Mr. Casey, his opponent, will need to run a Kerryesque campaign. Mr. Santorum cannot be caught with Mr. Bush at this time while Mr. Bush is looking like a loser. If Mr. Bush's approval ratings are above 50 percent next year, Mr. Santorum will be sniffing around Mr. Bush's posterior with glee.
