Bushophobia Has Peaked

Here’s an interesting observation from NR’s Rich Lowry, which jibes with my gut feeling that Bushophobia has already peaked:

I think it's possible the Democrats are counting on a moment that has passed, the April moment when Fallujah exploded and Bush seemed feckless in response and the economy had still been pretty effectively talked down by the Democrats. It may be that the further we get away from April, the more Bush's standing improves. Which means…the Democrats are in a race against time, to get Bush before people realize things aren't as bad as advertised.

With Kerry “going dark” between Friday and after Labor Day at the earliest, August is the President’s chance to regain the political initiative he lost fifteen months ago. And it looks like the electorate will be willing to give him one more look-see. He must be bold about seizing it, as his old man was with “Read my lips!” sixteen years ago.

Social Security private accounts, anyone?
