We need to win just for the sake of the war on terrorism, but I really really really want to deny the democrats the chance to regain power because it will show once and for all that not only will the anti-war cries not work, but neither will the sleaziest of tactics that that despicable party generates.
What will the democrats do if they lose this round when they themselves say this is their best opportunity to return to power? I know they would out their own mothers, but really what kind of mud is left for them to splatter if these latest unprincipled smears don't work?
It is interesting that the Dems have obviously decided that they can't win on the anti-war message alone.
