BILL QUICK’s co-blogger Lastango is unhappy with the war effort, which he regards as insufficiently vigorous: “Unless the pillars of the Republican party shake, unless conservative desertion threatens the GOP with ruin at the coffers and the polls, unless the president and his close team fear disgrace, there will be no War On Terror.”

On the other hand, here’s a claim that Bush is trying too hard. Well, sort of.

UPDATE: Eric Scheie has further thoughts.

ANOTHER UPDATE: The public seems uncertain.
