What is the one thing that could happen to change Bush's fortunes? Seems to me another "terrorist" attack within our borders would do the trick. It would have to be big, splashy, lots of good photo ops like the Towers. Maybe the SF Gate Bridge dropping into the bay. Bush could time it for about 2 hours after Rove's resignation.
