Bush's confidence
I agree about the 2000 election and Bush's confidence. But as we know 9/11 is what made this man, period, it was the cornerstone of the entire Republican convention and furthermore is what is what has kept him alive from the voting debacle of 2000 and his inability at domestic governance. Do I agree with Michael Moore, or a litany of conspiracy theorists that this disaster was encouraged, I'm not sure, there really isn't enough data, nor a smoking gun, but I think it's important, especially now with the spectre of 9/11 and the "terror threat" to make sure he doesn't get a big win. I think this would just embolden the man even more, he truly would think of it as a mandate from God, and if not believe it than pose it that way to his loyal legion of bible thumpers and zealots. This is it I'm afraid, is the best we can hope for: a slight win by GWB in 2004 to dampen his swagger.
