retrospectives. Take 60 minutes - much of the discussion with W was about his 1 term, the reasons that were attributed to the loss vs. what he thinks were the real reasons, right down to showing clips of the debate with Perot and Clinton where he was shown on camera constantly looking at his watch, which made him look uninterested. Saw James Baker and others on the NewsHour last night, with a lot of discussion of his defeat in 1992 - and his defeat in his Texas senate run in 1970.

Just the other day a bunch of posters were all bent out of shape from a simple AP tweet which mentioned the '92 loss. Seems to me everyone - left or right - is very, very eager to see persecution at the hands of the media.
