I have a lot of respect for David Gergen's judgment- he is a voice of reason in the increasingly volatile world of politics, where reason is ceasing to be valued. Bush has avoided getting down and dirty in the trenches from the first, depending too much on others and on the power of his office to carry him through. The GOP Senators who are in revolt have probably realized that he cares much more about history's verdict than the fate of his own party and are close to being finished following him into the abyss. Bush is already trying to extend the deadline for the surge past September, but this time may not be able to summon up his party's support as he has in the past.

This "lefty"<strike>Komrad Rudi</strike> enjoys hearing DG other the mindless rhetoric of most commentators on the Left and Right.
