Now He Tells Us

Reading Matthew Dowd’s tale of lost faith I’m left curious as to what he could have been thinking during Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign. Given what he thinks now, what about the situation in 2004 made him feel so differently that he wanted to quite literally dedicate his life to perpetuating Bush’s hold on power. Pretty much all the factors Dowd cites were perfectly clear by the time of the election. One can imagine it taking a while for the message to sink into the head of someone as invested in Bush as Dowd was, but shouldn’t there be a momement when you’re not exactly ready to jump off the bus but aren’t comfortable driving the bus either?
