#1 It occurs to me with events unfolding as they are and spiraling quickly out of control that the Democrats have a platform that will become increasingly out of touch and this will have a huge impact on the elections.

The Dems will simply defer to the "george bush has not done enough - was not strong enough" platform, but I suspect that as events get even more out of control, the American public - like the European public - will not be willing to accept words instead of actions.

#2 The Repubicans unfortunately are unwilling to fight the war at home. With one party declaring defeat and aiding the means of the enemy to conduct operations against the citizens of the US, they refuse to carry the fight literally to their opponents. They don't have the killer instinct to push back hard and play and replay the words and images of Dems and make the issue the security of the people in their persons, their families, and their country. If they are willing to use the same tactics the Dems use and do not pull back, the Dems would be lucking just to prevent the Reps from gaining 2/3rds of the House and Senate. Fortune never favors the timid.

#4 Neither does it favor those seen to be tearing the country apart unnecessarily.

Leadership is helping people to see the necessity. And I agree that this administration has been lacking in some of that.
