Dems lament Bush comeback

Bob Novak hits the nail on the head regarding the Democratic malaise over President Bush’s comeback over the past few weeks:

Bush has prospered, in the view of these Democrats, less because of his own efforts than uncontrollable events and Kerry’s failures. The prospective Democratic nominee’s campaign was eclipsed by Ronald Reagan’s death, Bill Clinton’s book and the Iraq handover. However, the Democrats complain Kerry’s campaign has done a poor job of presenting the candidate to the public.

Dems now seem to be placing their hopes on the convention in Boston. Then the Summer Olympics, and then the Republican Convention in New York. . .

Yep, things are looking pretty bad for the Dems.
