An excellent little gem in Newsweek:

President Bush will move U.S. troops out of Iraq if the country descends into civil war, according to one senior Bush aide who declined to be named while talking about internal strategy. "If there's a full-blown civil war, the president isn't going to allow our forces to be caught in the crossfire," the aide said.

The party dynamics for 2008, in regards to the presidential primary, are going to be unique this time around. I think speculating this early is foolish as there is so much time and things change. Though, I've begun to look at the political landscape and see patterns emerging that will help make better predictions. Overall, one factor, I believe, will drive the emergence of major players in 2008 for the Democratic nomination: The 2006 Midterm Elections

How do these races influence 2008 dynamics and effect possible contenders? I believe that following the results on November 2, 2006, Democratic primary voters are going to look around and say: "Who do we thank for our victories, and who do we blame for our shortcomings?" Who are our Power-Players?

No matter the nominee, the Democratic Party should win the White House in 2008. Let's call it the "Perot Effect" similar to '92 and a flashback to Wallace in '68.

The defining issue is Stem Cells. But it includes the war and immigration and the courts. Read More

Less than 20 million people watched the President's speech last night. My guess is that the majority was made up of politcal junkies, including Bush non-supporters like ourselves. My girlfriend watched "Friends" re-runs while I watched the Presidents speech. Apparently many Americans did; as Chandler would say: "Could there be any less people watching that speech?"

What the President could have done is address the press from the White House the day before. Ask them to preempt all other programming to carry his speech. Make it clear to the press and the country that Iraq is important and its worth an honest discussion.

But he didn't -- because he doesn't get it. Read More

Today's column in the Chicago Sun-Times by Andrew Greeley: Expect terrorists to bring war to us.

This column should be coming from a prominant Democrat in Congress, however it comes from a Catholic Priest in Chicago. Read More

Ruben Navarrette Jr. has written a column today entitled: Liberals don't know what to do with nondeferential minorities.

He has recently taken to categorizing all Democratic efforts to block minority appointments by President Bush as actions of subtle racism rather than what they truely are: Opposition to Alberto Gonzales concerning torture memos, opposition to Janice Rogers Brown concerning her poor decisions on the bench in California.
