So Howard Dean got Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s presidential endorsement the other day, clearly trying to shed his campaign's lilly white image.
What does President Bush do?
Get the endorsement of Sen. Zell Miller, retiring Georgia Democrat. He already had another prominent Democrat, former NY mayor Ed Koch, pledged to vote for him. Miller says he'll even campaign for Bush next year, if the President wants him to.
Dems, start mixing the Kool-Aid...

And you can have them. They won’t be needed.
You win some, you lose some
Getting lots of work done, I see.
The military slide is problematic. Bush should’ve asked for a bigger force when he had the chance. But it also reflects an institutional bias against necessary reforms Rumsfeld has been pushing. Oh, and soldiers don’t like to go to war. It has ever been thus—grumbling is a soldier’s most basic right. It’ll shake out.
Seniors? They usually vote Dem anyway.
Virginia? Bush will win there.
After months of relentlessly negative (and inaccurate) press, after months in which the Dems have been shouting and shouting and Bush has been pretty much silent, he’s still holding half the country. Once he actually starts campaiging, and once people start paying attention to Dean’s anti-war schtick, you’ll see Bush’s numbers go up. Bank on it.
