By Ron Brownstein, Los Angeles Times (LRR). Mentioned in John Leo’s weekly column for those of you who don’t want to go through the LAT’s registration. Snipped from a larger article on the 9/11 commission:
. . . so far, most Americans recoil from efforts to blame Bush for the attacks. One leading Democratic interest group recently asked a focus group in Florida to respond to a potential television ad accusing Bush of negligence in failing to stop the attacks. The result was volcanic — against the ad. "They were so angry I thought they were going to turn the tables over," said a Democratic operative who watched the session. "It was a very polarizing ad, and it pushed people who were on the fence decidedly away from us." |
