Bush Panic Watch

The paper of record has a story on the rumors that Cheney is going to be dumped.

TNR has some nice comments on the fact that Bush is appealing to conservatives and how that can not be good for him.

Mike Ditka rules out Senate run. While this is good for Dems, I sense that a Ditka campaign would provide a lot of material.

To sum up: inevitable Kerry win now approaching, Dems to gain control of Senate for good measure.
