37. Yeah, the independents are a real force for change, aren't they?
They've got the organization, the votes and the power to make a real difference in politics.

BTW - the Dems do have the backing of the people, they are moving forward on Iraq AND they can also concentrate on future elections. What makes you
think they can only do one thing at a time? The movers and shakers in Congress are not the people running for president. By summer, the presidential
field will be down to maybe 6 people, tops. The rest will have dropped out like Vilsack.

Jesus, if the Dems were ONLY pressing the "out of Iraq" issue, you'd be bitching that they're not looking toward '08 while the Rs were pressing full steam ahead.

What the Dems do in Congress is going to influence who gets the nomination in '08. At this point, it's all a sideshow. Let the hopefuls beat up on each other,
because Al Gore is going to get the nod in '08 at take office in '09 anyway. Hillary & Obama are going to be fighting over the VP spot.
