The trouble with the Dems is that they are still laboring under the false impression that there is widespread support for Iraq. Democrats such as Hillary etc. are still on the war bandwagon. The Republicans are calling this issue as "Cut and Run". The Dems such as Murtha need to stress that they are suggesting a change in strategy to ensure and accelerate success in Iraq. Right now the Bush policy is to sacrifice US lives with the hope that the insurgents will tire out. We know full well that the British sent Churchill home even though he won the war for them. The reason: because Churchill was not fighting for peace when the time to do so had come. There is a parallel in Iraq. The Democrats should challenge the Republicans on their plan to fight for peace in Iraq. The Democrats need to articulate a plan not only for peace but also for prosperity in Iraq.

>>That Schumer guy from New York is especially creepy. The Dems need some new people that sound sharp and on point if they want to do anything. They don't seem to have too many so far.<< RMF - I agree with you about Schumer. When I lived in New York, I voted for him, because I think he is actually a decent guy. But he definitely comes across creepy on TV, which dooms him with respect to the Presidency. Obama is terrific. Comes across beautifully on television. Relaxed, intelligent and on point. But 2008 is too early for him. He won't even have had one full Senate term by then. In 2012 or 2016, he could easily be the man. I like Edwards, too. He looks so young, but in his debate with Cheney he did very well. Didn't let Dick get away with twisting things. When you think about it, though, the Republicans don't have many people who seem reasonable, either, apart from McCain. And I don't trust McCain. - Allen

I'm reading a bio of Rove called "Boy Genius". You can see he controls everything for Bush politically. Rove is a genius, but without any ethics or morals. He may exploit the religious right but he never goes to church himself. He only believes in one thing, winning at any cost. He doesn't even care about laws. He does or says anything to win and destroy his opponents. He is perfectly willing to frame or blackmail. Election fraud is second nature. Libel is too. Just a question of what can be gotten away with, or carried out by surrogates so Bush can deny he has anything to do with it. The entire smearvets campaign is textbook Rove oin a grand scale. Whisper campaigns, push polls, surrogates outright lying backed by 30 million dollar ad buys, anything goes. If Hillary were ever to get nominated, Rove's entire plan is to claim she's a lesbian, a total lie of course. same thing he did to Anne Richards who is not a lesbian either. This is how Bush got into power. Cheating, lying and dirty tricks. Also tons of money and shallow repetitious on-message sound bites.
