#1 This election's meme: "This election will be the last chance America has to vote in a referendum over the Vietnam War: Were our soldiers baby-killing, drug-crazed war criminals; or were they honorable men fighting for a just cause, who were betrayed by a fifth column of radical leftists who spread lies to undermine the war effort?"

#2 No. I think Bush was less vulnerable than you think. The problem is positionoing. There are a lot of people unhappy now (and a lot want to blame Bush and the neocons and not the Global Jihad), but but there's little room for anyone looking to capitalize on that. On the economy, no one could survive by campaigning to roll back the tax cuts. On the war, no one could survive running on defeatism. The only room to run was to the right of Bush on those issues but the Dems are physically incapable of that at this point. The Howard Dean wing is much more powerful than the Lieberman wing.

and the Hillary Clinton wing will become ascendant - after they jettison the disgusting Terry McAuliffe. Then we hear about how much she loves the troops. Feh!
