Guest speaker Carl Limbacher, the editor of [winger billionaire Scaife-funded] Newsmax.com, told the packed meeting that he was worried that the White House had become too passive. "Eventually Karl Rove will unleash the attack dogs, you'd think. But they never do it."
But Bush-Cheney campaigners will be listening to the kind of dissatisfaction displayed at the Young Republicans meeting on Lexington Avenue, and reacting accordingly in the weeks to come.
