From the Washington Times:
With just five months to go before the midterm elections, President Bush, whose once-faithful base has abandoned him in droves, is turning to the same conservative hot-button issues that won him re-election in 2004 — homosexual “marriage” and judicial nominees….
Thus, there is a White House strategy to move swiftly to nominate more conservative judicial nominees, which political guru and top Bush political strategist Karl Rove sees as a decisive issue in elections — an issue Mr. Bush effectively exploited in 2002 and 2004.
If the American electorate falls for this one a third time, I may have to go from deep skepticism to full-blown cynicism.
