Fox gets two million viewers a night, and MSNBC gets one. It's four million people, five million people, and 130 million people are going to vote.

I'm disappointed, depressed, and demoralized. [...] It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that President Bush flinched from a fight on constitutional philosophy.
