Survey US governors the day before the interview, and I'll bet at least 48
would be cluless. It's not like it's a LAW. It's merely a stance that
evolves over the course of an administration.
and, the answer is, if there is *reliable* evidence that we were about to be
attacked, it is the **duty** of our leader to defend.

Well, there it is.  But Bush didn't have "reliable" evidence that Iraq
was about to attack, and his invasion wasn't exactly a defense. On the
other hand, when he -did- have reliable evidence on August 8 that "Bin
Laden was poised to attack," he did nothing but tell the briefer he'd
"covered his ass."

I agree, though, that the whole "Bush Doctrine" thing will strike many
voters as inside baseball.

I had this discussion with my father a couple of days ago. My father
(and CNN's David Gergen) also argue that this might be viewed as 'inside
baseball'; they say a lot of people wouldn't necessarily immediately
know what Charlie Gibson meant by 'Bush Doctrine.' My rejoinder is: 'A
lot of people' aren't running to be vice president of the United States.

My point is less that she didn't know what he meant, as that a lot of
viewers will assume it's merely a "gotcha" question or too esoteric.
