Democratic Candidates, The GOP will Run on Withdrawal Plan
The Democratic Candidates had better get a position
that is clear and to the point regarding the war in
Iraq.

Today Tim Russert,MSNBC stated unequivocally that once
the Primaries are over and each party has chosen their
candidates --- Both Parties will run on a plan to remove
troops from Iraq. The GOP will have completely distanced
themselves from Bush.

This is third time I have heard this warning.

Last Debate--Caution ruled in Democratic Debates. The TOP TIER
all agreed to keep troops there until 2013. Fox analysis of
this--gives Bush his legacy.

As long as we permit GOP to set Parameters GOP WINS.

No matter how you feel about Buchanan, he understands the
American people. His analysis and I have to agree with him
somewhat--not entirely. He believes there is a very good
chance for the GOP to win the WH and Lose in House and Senate.

I put this out because I think our candidates collectively
and individually consider what happens once the GOP decides
to essentially end the war. Our party has been dancing on
eggs.

1. Yep--I have heard that the R's will run to the right until the primaries on the war, and
then the nominees (House, Senate, and Prez) will likely come out with some version of "we're leaving"--why lose to the Dems on this issue? However, that would be an excellent time for the Dems to charge poor judgment and flip-floppery.

2. They'll first declare victory, then propose a withdrawal plan.

3. Yup, it worked for Nixon. And if the GOP nominee is one of the current top three, he can claim
to be a real Washington outsider. If HRC is our nominee, he will be insane not to make her vote for the IRW and her lack of a clear "I will get the troops out tomorrow" statement the centerpiece of his withdrawal plan....
