This is the proverbial easy out for cell-phone-toting SUV drivers who heat their heavily mortaged homes with heating oil.
We are all responsible for Iraq. Pretending we were misled and did not know at the time is just drama. |

Let's see how Dems can, once again, fail to use this turn people away from the Republican party and translate it into support for the Democrats.

Vote Democrat! We aren't Republicans! [/ QUOTE ] Because that approach is so much worse than "Vote Republican! Democrats hate America!" Cut the [censored], you know that winning seats is as much of a game as any and the Democrats need to take this opportunity as a way to shake the Republican base and outline a plan for America which, as I said before, I'm confident they'll once again fail to do. |

Let's see how Dems can, once again, fail to use this turn people away from the Republican party and translate it into support for the Democrats. [/ QUOTE ] Success or defeat won't be decided by GWB's poll performance - good or bad. People who favor George Allen, for instance, be they Repub or Dem, will vote for him. And there'll be those voting for him (if he's chosen) simply as a vote against the Dem's choice. It'll always be that way. For the Dems to succeed, they've got to find a candidate the majority of the voters, not just the "faithful," believe isn't a dyed-in-the-wool ideologue. Someone who is more centrist than the 10-13% of the party. Mr. Clinton proved it. Mrs. Clinton is trying to do the same. There are more folks who usually vote Repub that will vote for a moderate/centrist Dem if the Repub is a radical right-wingnut than the party understands. Or will admit. |

GWB's performance ratings are slipping, but I don't think that the Dems will translate that into faith in the Republican party as a whole slipping.

[/ QUOTE ] I completely agree, but the problem is that nearly all of our charismatic potential candidates are either women or minorities, and let's face it, we're still a long way from having anyone but a white man in the Oval Office. |
