No, Ramesh this post is not about your wonderful wife. 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, as Jonah suggested in his excellent USA Today column today, the Democrats are in a race against time, to get Bush before people realize things aren’t as bad as advertised.
