Refreshing moment of candor

So will the upcoming election be a referendum on Bush? As one of the top GOP strategists, Ed Gillespie, admitted:

If we have a big election night and we take the Senate and hold the House, we'll say it's a reflection of Bush's popularity. If it's a bad night, we'll point out the truth: That in this environment, it's up to every candidate to get themselves across the finish line or not.

The article says Gillespie chuckled as he said these words, and his quote is actually really funny. Seldom is the absurdity of the political game so candidly expressed.
