Their polls are in the toilet. Republican scandals won't stop coming. Polls say there's no way they can hang on to their majorities in both houses of Congress. But remember, Karl Rove is "the man with the plan," according to his Presidential Puppet, and he's got a plan to turn it around in the nick of time.
A U.S. Naval fleet, loaded for Iranian bear, is already underway, headed for the Persian Gulf. It will arrive on October 21. Democrats, are you ready for what happens next?
Some nervous Iranian commander will fire on a U.S. ship or plane that violates Iranian waters or air space -- or maybe it's only a false blip on the radar, as in the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Either way, the President makes a solemn address to the nation on TV, and decries the "unprovoked attack" on U.S. forces. He launches Shock and Awe 2. The polls are instantly obsolete.
The media rolls over and resumes its cheerleader role. Republicans and independents rally around their "War President." Democrats are outraged, but they're caught flat-footed. Rove has done it again.
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, Democratic candidates, are you ready for this? Because it's headed for the Persian Gulf like a Category 5 hurricane, and you damned well better be ready.
