Now I'm gonna shock a few people here and say while in the past the economy has been by far the biggest factor in an election that Bush has the possibility of being able to be someone who can defy that trend. IF he can frame the election much more around national security AND the dem candidate doesn't come up with an effective way to deal with that Bush can win despite a bad economy.

Clinton said it best when he visited the college class in Arkansas that studied his presidency http://www.c-span.org/VideoArchives.asp?Ca...ssue,PE;&Page=2 when he said that the dem candidate, or any candidate for that matter, has to be able to convince voters by doing this:

1) You have to point out something that the public might not have taken notice of that they won't like about the other guy and point out it's something you won't do.

2) You have to point to something that they DO like about the guy and convince them you can do that as well (in our current situation defense)

3) And going back to point two you also have to offer something ELSE you will do on that issue they will like that he won't do.

Even for people who DON'T like Clinton I suggest you watch that video (anyone know what player works for that type (.rm) of file to watch it?) as it's an extremely interesting and candid discussion and whether you like him or not you can get some very interesting political information from the show.

BTW- not sure if that's just a clip or the full show.
