Pump the positivity, politicians

From The Corner:

"So how was your day, honey?" The highlight of my wife's yesterday was provided by a teen Democrat going house to house in the neighborhood -- he came down the driveway all full of tinkie and vinegar and immediately urged her "help get rid of Bush." Not "Vote for John Kerry," but bounce W. That's the script the door-knockers are using, and for good reason: it's the essence of the Dem's campaign. As all good NRO readers already know.

Many other commentators spout a variation on the same line: "You should be more positive about Kerry and stop trying to tear Bush down!"

So when are we going to see more positive coverage about Allawi? Anytime George W. Bush is asked to justify the war these days, he keeps talking about what a bad guy Saddam was. That's a given, but why can't he say nice things about the current prime minister?

Everybody keep it positive!
