Exactly the right question. What, indeed, can they lose?
Posted by Jeff Dinelli at October 17, 2007 12:11 PMwhat can the Democrats lose from having the showdown over war funding, FISA, and SCHIP?
2008-GO FOR IT !!
Cocktail weenies.
Posted by Pvt. Keepout at October 17, 2007 12:58 PMLet's see, NYTimes stock has fallen 24% since that MoveOn ad. Coincidence? Stockholders are dumping it left and right. Some call it a fire sale.
"What, indeed, can they lose?"
Three losses, three compromises with the president, Three wins for this WH. People will follow the idea of why vote for Democrats when all they do is cave in to the strength of a 24% WH.
And Seven, Jon Elliot did apologize last night according to Kevin Hayden. Nice to see he saw the "Air" of his ways. I commend him for his thoughtfullness.
Posted by peter at October 17, 2007 03:23 PMdemocrats don't watch the polls anymore they're too busy racking in the big bucks from their campaing 'donors' and talking to lobbyists about what bills to get ready for in 2009.
why should they care, they've alreayd won big majorities in both Houses and the presidency.
seriously, you know how they interpret those numbers? that his 24% trumps their 11%, so they'd better watch out for the big bad republican boogeyman calling them names like 'wimps' on national security. after over 20 years of hate radio and right wing corporatism in the mainstream media, the democrats are highly trained not to believe in or act on any true liberal or progressive ideas. it'll take at least 5 more years of activism to force their hands on any major issues, no matter what they gain in nov '08.
i hope i'm wrong.
I see pants-pissing peter is back......yawn

Are you a bot? You're about as predictable as one.
Here's a recommendation. Why don't you try an experiment in self-sufficiency. It's simple. You eat nothing but your own shit for a month.
During this experiment, you may find that you're vomiting and dribbling shit too, but that wouldn't be much of a change from what usually dribbles from your mouth.
And what kind of frickin' retard calls himself 'Gay Veteran' anyway?
Gay Veteran, enjoy your stay in the idiot tree!

Oh, Steve, if you delete my pointless ad-hominem post, you've also got to delete Gay Veteran's too, otherwise you're just being a biased prick.
