August Hope

Fred Barnes:
"The message in the August bounce is not that Republicans are now sure of holding on to the House and Senate. They are not. The message, rather, is that they can save themselves. A lot depends on what Bush does. If he stands out as a fighter against terrorists and an uncompromising foe of a nuclear Iran, he will gain stength politically and will deserve to. But he and Republicans on Capitol Hill must act. Resting on nonexistent laurels will lead to catastrophe on November 7."

Can only mean one thing, my friends: The Weekly Standard editorial board must subscribe to The Republic Square...

Get out there and start fighting! 1 week until Labor Day and the real race begins...
