Final Omens?

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- If the manner in which the 42nd and 43rd presidents closed out the 2006 election cycle is indicative, predictions of a Democratic surge tomorrow could prove true. Pres Bush attended a rally today held for FL's frontrunning GOV candidate, AG Charlie Crist (R) -- without Crist. An appearance with Bush in the state's conservative Panhandle was not as important as touching down in more competitive cities, Crist said. So the President of the United States was relegated to touting a candidate in absentia while standing on stage with his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush (R), and Sen. Mel Martinez (R), neither of whom are on the ballot tomorrow.

WH officials tried to argue that it was not a snub, and that the event was intended as a rallly for the GOP ticket. But the other top Republican on the ticket did not even get a spot on the stage, let alone a chance to speak alongside Pres Bush. Rep. Katherine Harris (R) got a fleeting mention in the president's introductory remarks and even less when a reporter asked WH Press Sec. Tony Snow before the event if the president was excited to campaign for the former FL Sec/State who played a pivotal role in the 2000 campaign. "He wants Republican candidates to win," Snow offered.

Mark my words. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She'll try to lean on them for a favor one time too many, threaten to spill the beans once too often, and SPLAT!!!
