| Former top election strategist breaks up with Bush: report |
| 2007-04-01 |
| A man who played a key role in securing George W. Bush's reelection has become the first member of the president's inner circle to publicly break up with him insisting that Bush's 2004 rival, Democratic Senator John Kerry, was right on Iraq, The New York Times reported on its website late Saturday. The newspaper said Matthew Dowd, who was the president's chief campaign strategist in 2004, now says his faith in Bush was misplaced and that Kerry was correct in calling for a withdrawal from Iraq. I dunno 'bout you, but I'm steeling myself for the possibility that the wheels are starting to come off this war... Rest at link... |

| #2 I don't recall Kerry calling for a withdrawal - he claimed to have "a plan" but never produced one that was meaningful. Dowd's an idiot if he actually believes this. Besides, does he have a brain of his own? He bases his policy preferences on "faith" in individual politicians? Sheesh, what an infantile Beltway type - if this is accurate. |

| #1 This guy is a "never happy". Note that he first became disillusioned with Bill Clinton, most likely after projecting him as being full of grace; then he felt the same way about Bush, and *shockingly*, Bush doesn't live up to his standards, either. He wants to serve a godlike being on Earth. Is that too much to ask? |
