Selective Intelligence on Road to Baghdad I will give it a try. "Frontline" has run some fair documentaries lately, but this sounds like they are using 20/20 hindsight.

This guy is good! _________________ THE NOTE Here is the harsh-but-spot-on analysis of what happened from a Brilliant Democrat: 1. Optimism trumps pessimism. 2. Referendum on hated incumbent will produce defeat no matter how flawed challenger is (see: Florio versus Whitman, 1993) 3. Democratic Party does not have moral platform to attack sexually harassing candidates (notice absence of either Clinton during the final stretch, once the charges broke) 4. Was there a real difference between our tracking polls and the Republican tracking polls the final week post-LA Times allegations? If so, pollster problems in Democratic Party (so evident in 2002) seem to persist. When was the last time a Democrat lost 30% of the African-American vote in any race, any time? This is some achievement for Mulholland, South, Doak et al. abcnews.go.com
