Every now and then I have a blinding flash of the totally obvious, as Dilbert author Scott Adams used to call them. You know, a simple observation of a self-evident fact that has painfully important implications. A moment where you go, "Woah...that's exactly it!" (Though, as my last post demonstrates, sometimes things only seem like a good idea at one in the morning on a Saturday.)

In any case, David Adesnik of my new favorite conservative blog, OxBlog, has swiped one such moment of clarity:

BUT WHAT ABOUT JEB? Matt Yglesias writes that

This seem[s] like a good time to mention an all-too-obvious fact that oftentimes seems to elude liberals -- George W. Bush can't ever be elected President again no matter what.

That quote sounds pretty funny out of context, but what Matt's actually trying to say is that if the Democrats spend the next three years running against Bush instead of coming up with a clear definition of the party's agenda and values, it will do just as badly in '08 as it did in '04.

Woah...that's exactly it!

I agree. However, I believe anti-Bushism is a strategy that can be used effectively in '06 in some races. GUY

I'm glad you like our work. Are we conservative? That's the beginning of a long discussion...

Best,
David
