I know not who the choreographer or script writers might
be in this reelection 'show', but so far they seem to be
adept at removing the opposition from the front pages and
TV screens any/every time the opposition gets a little too
noisy.
They do it without engaging the opposition in any fashion,
while bringing President Bush's approval ratings up
each time. Call it 'raining on their parade', or 'letting the air
out of their balloon', or what ever you might care.
If, so far, we have only seen previews of what this
election year might hold in store, it should be interesting.
