You're right.
And the Dems are also forgetting one salient fact: the very SHORT attention-span of the American voter.
Three years from now, most people will have forgotten about Terri Schiavo.
Not saying that that is right, or just, but it IS true.
Yeah. Just look at the 2004 election. Was ANYONE thinking about Bush's handling of our plane going down in China? Or even were anti-Department of Education folks recalling the millions Bush put into No Child Left Behind? Nope--they thought Big Issue. It just happens. In our case that will be helpful.
