How Bush can get his mojo back

• Withdraw Harriet, nominate Edith.

  I completely disagree with this. Miers may or may not have been a good nomination, but if he withdraws the nomination there is not a snowball's chance in hell that one of the people the conservatives would have preferred will get through the weak willed Rinos in the Senate. The only chance of getting a strong conservative in when Stevens dies or retires is to stand strong for Miers and get her confirmed.

• Go to Baghdad - Rally America's GIs and rally the Iraqi people

  The security implications of this are frightening, but I think our military is up to it, and I agree this would be a wonderful idea.

• Nail the Greenspan succession - naming a Fed chairman who can read the lips that said in the 2004 State of the Union speech: "For the sake of job growth, the tax cuts you passed should be permanent."

  Very good idea

• Embrace the sequester.

  I agree completely.

  By embracing the across-the-board spending sequester in the House before it disappears, Mr. Bush at a stroke would become the de facto leader of an effort that would sweep away the ill will of a spending record that for now dilutes his legacy.
