Joe Klein, a politically astute columnist notably hard on George Bush, writes this in the Dec. 3 issue of Time magazine: "If the Democrats want to win in 2008, they can't be mealymouthed on issues of national security." Klein then proceeds to cite two matters, Iraq war funding and surveillance of terrorist communications, about which Democrats have been "foolishly partisan." Klein concludes by warning that if Democrats can't credibly promise to "protect the nation against enemies, foreign and domestic ... they simply will not win the presidency."
