In theory you are correct. However, there are certain moments when people have to step outside of the comforts of the way thing are supposed to work, what they are supposed to do and do what needs to be done. Bush believes that he is 100% correct, he is a man of conviction, he is a guy surrounded by men who are willing to do what needs to be done. do you think Democrats have under-estimated Bush and his team?
