Democrats don't think it is possible. I think the war is currently on the right track, Democrats don't.

There are rumblings that all is not as rosy as reported in Iraq at the moment, but even setting that aside: How about the economy? Health care? Energy? Food prices?
The war is a waning issue in this campaign. It's still there, but people's wallets are screaming at them right now, and that's always going to come first. I don't think any of the four I mentioned are winner issues for the Republican ticket at the moment. Which is why the McCain campaign isn't running on issues, it's running on personality. Which is the only world the Palin choice makes any sense.
You (the generic "you", not "YOU", ace) can "la-di-da" about the problems facing the country right now if your politics demand that of you, but before long the rest of the world just sees your ostrich head in the sand.
