Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the pres alway wins by a whisker? He's been doing it his whole career. He won his first governors race against Anne Richardson on absentee ballots! No she hasn't forgotten - she warned Gore publicly back before in 2000.

What does it say about a man who always wins, but just barely? Is he an habitual underachiever or a damn political election 'shark'?

I think the pool analogy fits: A pool shark can beat you handily in a straight up game, and some will do just that, but a true artist will string you along and miss selected shots, maybe even losing for part of the game, so that you continue to believe you are playing someone of similar calibre. Then they drop the hammer.

I'm beginning to think GW is droppin' hammers. And that my friends is a scary thought.

I'm not sure about the reasons for his always winning by a hair. But as for people underestimating him, they've been doin' it since day one. His good ol' boy exterior hides a pretty shrewd politician, underneath. Those who dismiss him as a stupid redneck do so at their political peril.

Look.. I think the guy is a socialist...

But I also think he is a damned politcal guru. He was playin chess... Kerry was playin' checkers.

You could watch him pull Kerry's strings, especially at the end.

You really think Kerry stood a chance?? I'll admit, that I was concerned to think that Lurch could marry Morticia and try to run this country by only turning left, but that didn't happen.

W is also like his dad, a fisherman.... he's still playin' out the line, ready to land the big one.
