Consequences
In a time of war, I would not like to engage in political strategizing. However, I do have one observation to make as a Democrat. If this war lasts longer than a couple of months, we are in deep trouble for 2004. Candidates who support the use of force have been booed off stage in California; polling in NH and IA show most Dem activists are anti-war. It isn't a stretch to think that, under such circumstances, the Party would be stuck with an anti-war candidate. Now, remember that somewhere around 70% of Americans support the war. So what do you think would happen to an anti-war Democrat in 2004? Ouch!
