You know that BDS we have all come to recognize instantly? Here’s a piece at Wizbang, with some interesting insight into the topic.

Neither President Bush nor Vice-President Cheney are running for any office next fall; indeed no one in the Bush White House has expressed a desire to be the nation’s next President or a Senator or Congressman. Yet the leading Democrats are all running against President Bush, as if he were the GOP’s nominee. Hillary Clinton leads the pack, and acts as if it were the 2004 election again, not 2008.

And the Left’s mob of frenzied trolls shows the same confused devotion to the President. One recent example is the protest against the tasering of a Leftist student who disrupted an appearance by Senator Kerry. A student newspaper, after weighing all the evidence and considering the circumstances, chose to reference the event with a profane insult directed at President Bush.

For a feel good story this Tuesday morning it’s The Wide Awake Cafe. It’s just wonderful for so many reasons.

For those interested in the upcoming Senate races in 2008 GOP Bloggers links to the brand new NRSC website.

Here’s hoping you all have a great Tuesday.
