Why President Bush will lose the election

The Bush/Cheney campaign has made a serious and probably fatal error that will cause them to lose this election.

They gave the people time to think.

Any good con artist knows that to fool someone, you must do it quickly, before they have time to figure out what's going on. If the election had been held in early September, there was a good chance that they might have pulled it off. Listening to President Bush tonight made that point clear. The winds have shifted to the northwest and the smoke is clearing away. And the sad, pitiful truth of the matter is being revealed. It takes people time to internalize these kinds of things, time to see through the smoke, and time to admit they were wrong.

Bush and Cheney gave them that time, and it will be their undoing.
