WASHINGTON (CNN) -- With his poll numbers slipping and Democratic candidates hammering him from the campaign trail, President Bush will strike back at his critics Monday night and open up his campaign treasury for television ads next week.

Bush will cast the upcoming November election as a choice between the "same old Washington mind-set" and a stronger future, according to excerpts of a speech he is to deliver to Republican governors. The excerpts were released in advance by the Bush-Cheney campaign.
