Stalled Message
Bush anti-terror message stalled by sex scandal:
I guess Karl's distraction isn't working out so well.
President George W. Bush's campaign strategy of painting Democrats as soft on terrorism has been stalled by a congressional sex scandal, jeopardizing Republican hopes of holding the House of Representatives, analysts say.
Analysts said the timing of the scandal, a month before the November 7 elections, could be trouble for Republicans who already have been feeling heat from voters over the Iraq war.
'This is a really serious problem for the Republicans right now,' said Merle Black, a political scientist professor at Emory University in Atlanta. 'We don't know how this is going to play out. We're a month away from the election. But right now, it's a major problem for the Republican leadership.'
