I think if Craig decides to stay in Senate that would be good for the Democrats. I don’t think the actual actions of what he did are so bad, but his hypocrisy on gay issues makes it very bad for him. It will also provide a great tool out on the campaign trail, as him […]
For our military that is. He told George Stephanopoulos this morning that he doesn’t think it’s write for Petraeus to have to prove progress to the Congress this September. Yeah – let’s not have any kind of tests or benchmarks for Iraq. That is basically the same strategy George Bush has used, the same strategy […]
Is it the troops? Nope. His true concern is that if Iraq don’t get better by September, it might hurt the Republicans in 2008. That is what he told Chris Wallace on FOX yesterday.

Of course they were talking about Karl Rove, who came back strong into the political arena once he was cleared in the Valerie Plame leak case. Shortly after that, Rove remained the headline. He laid out the GOP strategy for the mid-term elections […]
What is ironic is how Republicans talk about backing Bush 100% until it comes to their re-election chances (From today’s Wall Street Journal): President Bush goes to Pennsylvania tomorrow to campaign for embattled Republican House members in the Philadelphia suburbs.
