Good article. Even Dowd can't hide his disappointment anymore.

Oct. 29 - Bush pollster Matthew Dowd, unshaven and looking weary, met with print journalists Thursday for one last spin session. For the record, he thinks the president will win, but he sounded so unconvincing that halfway through the hourlong lunch, a reporter said, "OK, so the race is very close and one or the other will win."

2. Great piece, and although I don't much like Clift...

...it seems to tell it like it is.

The Bushies are panicking.

8. And isn't that a nice thought?

.....until you remember that a cornered animal is more vicious (not that I think Rove et al can get all that more vicious.) But still, it's nice that the media tide is trickling truth out to the masses, and pointing out inconsistancies. And that even the Bushies are getting discouraged and tired.

4. Are there any proofreaders at MSNBC?????

I know that pointing out typos is considered nitpicky, but this was too much to ignore:

Bush is running against the headlines and no amount of spin can make the bad news out of Iraq look good. “He has his finger in the dyke with Iraq, and there was a little leakage this week,” says Marshall Wittmann, a senior fellow with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council.

Guys...? When you're talking about a reservoir wall found in Holland, it's spelled "dike." :eyes:
