and it's the logic many of my anti-dem friends used, when they were campaigning for dems at the last presidential election.

It comes down to your assessment of where we are, as a country.

Will the dems leave Iraq - even if they are elected? Or will they end up staying, because anyone who leaves will receive the political blame for leaving - as long as we stay, the disaster can be called "temporary" and blamed on the war "strategy." Hence all the political bs about how the war was "handled badly" - as if there was a good way to handle it.

If you think the DNC has pulled the party far enough to the corporate right that any of their candidates will continue to extend the war, then there is nothing to lose there.

If you think we'd leave Iraq if ONLY we had enough dems elected, then your strategy would be right.

Unfortunately their voting record and explanation leaves me believing we have nothing to lose.
