The Democratic leaders in Congress, in both the House and Senate, largely have abandoned principle and long-term strategy for the short-term tactics they think will help them in this November's election.

I wonder why Broder is so upset about this -- the Democrats abandoned any pretense of "principle" once when they climbed into bed with Bill Clinton in 1992 and then again when they refused to climb out in 1999.

Because the DemoRats are being too obvious about it now. After Newt was run out of town, the weak kneed Republicans were not that great a contrast to the leftist DemoRats.

But now that we have a man of some integrity and substance in the White House, and the Rats are getting cornered, it's becoming all too obvious. Daschle especially is acting like a scared cornered Rat. Cool. Foaming at the mouth too. Likely has rabies.
