WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 — The winner of the Iowa caucuses on Monday night will have an unexpected competitor waiting right around the corner, and he is not one of the Democrats running for president.
The opponent is President Bush and his State of the Union address, which White House officials scheduled for Tuesday night, only 24 hours after Iowa, to draw attention from the Democratic victor, a Republican close to the Bush campaign said.
Gee, imangine that. Politicians playing politics.
Why even feign surprise at that? Anyone with the slighest pea of political sense would not (while being honest) call any politician on that without exposing their partisan motives for doing so.
