i hope not
Seablogger has been pondering and mulling things over throughout the election. Now, on Rumsfeld's proffered resignation and Bush's acceptance of it, Alan comments that he thinks "Bush cut and ran". Done earlier, it could have had a salutatory effect on the election. Later, it would have shown faith in his own convictions and decisions. As it is, it does seem like cutting and running and I would have sworn Bush would never do that. Alan also thinks this is a harbinger of what Bush will do in Iraq (he "will now govern entirely like a Democrat, having deemed that the will of the people"). The idea that GWB gives a rat's patooty about the changeable and windblown "will of the people" and might waver from his goals and principles makes me something less than distraught but definitely surprised and distressed. For Bush to resemble Clinton in any way, let alone in this scurrilous way, would hugely disappoint and surprise me.

I sure hope you're wrong about Bush. You're so right about "the fickle majority" and other things, however, that it alarms and depresses me. I'm going to go knit now.....!
