Already seeing it

Well, it seems that we're already seeing how the democrats might take a big hit for their stance on iraq. I predicted just a month ago that the democrats would pay a big price for what they're doing. It now seems thats becoming a reality.
"Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.), the second-ranking House Democratic leader, have told colleagues that Pelosi's recent endorsement of a speedy withdrawal, combined with her claim that more than half of House Democrats support her position, could backfire on the party, congressional sources said." --Washington Post.
Actually, its already clear that their strategy is backfiring. Murtha originally called for the immediate withdrawal of troops (no I'm not talking about his first speech, but on the floor of the House). Now, he has a plan to bring them home in six months....interesting.
The article goes on to say that the democrats seem to be solidifying around one solid approach. That doesnt seem to be the case at all though because yesterday a meeting was held to find a suitable strategy, and it sounds like nothing came out of that meeting. You have Dean saying we cant win, Pelosi and Murtha calling for a 6 month withdrawal, Liebermann saying we need to stay, others saying we need immediate withdrawal, and everyone else somewhere in the middle. Doesn't seem to be a solid position to me.
The article then talks about how democrats "have tried over the past year to put aside deep philosophical differences and rally behind a two-pronged strategy to return to power: Highlight the growing number of GOP scandals and score Bush's unpopular war management."
Well, they're not winning on the first one. Libby was not charged with anything dealing with the CIA leak, just for lying about it. Delay got many of his charges dropped, with the toughest to prove conspiracy ones left.
Secondly, its pretty clear now that they're definitely losing on the war debate. Their position is only solidifying peoples thoughts that the democrats are weak on national security.
