The surviving Democratic candidates may right now be fighting each
other - but George Bush's handlers are suddenly so nervous about his
re-election prospects that the interview-shy President will make a
rare, hastily arranged appearance today on a leading Sunday talk show.
Half overshadowed by the hue and cry of the battle for the Democratic
nomination is the fact that Mr Bush has hit the rockiest patch of his
presidency - and the intelligence débâcle over Iraq's alleged weapons
is only one of the reasons.
