New Take: How George Bush Got His Groove Back

As President Bush finished up a week of highlighting the war on terrorism, the White House brimmed with new confidence. "The president has his groove back," said a GOP strategist in contact with the West Wing: Aides believe that Bush's aggressive posture has gone over well in the media and with the public, giving Republicans in Congress something to rally around for the November 7 elections. "Instead of us reacting, this is getting the Democrats to react," the insider said. Indeed, Democratic strategists expressed grudging admiration for the president's moves to take control of the national security agenda, admitting that Bush and his advisers are capable of more fresh thinking than they had expected. So the Democrats have a plan of their own: to drive a wedge in the public's mind between the Iraq war and the struggle with Islamic militants. They will argue that Iraq is diverting America's attention from the real war on terrorism.
