Second-term test
by Pat Buchanan
The American Conservative
An historic victory this was not. No wartime president had ever been turned out of office. But Bush came closest. A turnaround of 60,000 votes in Ohio, and he would have lost to a liberal from Massachusetts with a voting record indistinguishable from Teddy Kennedy's. I have political capital in the bank and I intend to spend it, says the president. But that capital is shrinking as fast as the dollar. What, then, are the yardsticks of success for a second Bush term? (for publication 01/31/05)
