WASHINGTON - Sounding more confident and combative in the wake of the president's slide in the polls, Sen. John Edwards and three other Democrats running for the White House used their speeches before a national party meeting Saturday to rehearse new anti-Bush sound bites.

Judging from the applause, the 500 or so members of the Democratic National Committee seemed to particularly like the partisan zingers that compared Bush to his one-term father, another GOP president whose re-election campaign was clouded by month after month of bad economic news.

North Carolina's Edwards, citing the loss of 3 million jobs since the younger Bush took office in 2001, cracked that "this president's making his father look pretty good."

Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., got one of the day's biggest roars of approval when he predicted that George W. Bush would follow in the footsteps of the first President Bush: "Like father, like son, four years and he's done."

"Like father, like son
Four years and he's done"

That will be my new mantra. Can anyone make a bumper sticker?
