I think you may be ignoring this fact in order to set the Dems up to fail an impossible standard that you invented, which is speaking with one voice as persuasively as the White House.

I am not ignoring the fact that you point out.
I agree, Democrats are in a tough position. When I said that perhaps one of the problems was in the way the Democratic Party message was being communicated, the first response was that it was my problem.
At this point I am not just posting things for the sake of argument, I am interested in understanding how the Iraq problem can be solved. One way is the Bush way, which will cost billions more dollars and who know how many american lives. The other way is for the Democrats to over-come the obsticals and present a plan to the American people that we can understand and support.
