OK, I'll Back Away From The Ledge
For someone who regularly rails about bias in the mainstream media (and therefore should know better), I guess I get a little too pessimistic sometimes. AcademicElephant graciously points out (as she has before) that I can safely back away from the window ledge--polls are already indicating that the administration's counterattack is gaining some traction with the public. All may not be lost, after all. As I pointed out yesterday, there's still almost a year to go till the 2006 elections; a year in which the progress in Iraq can continue. And it's beginning to look like the grave structural flaws in today's Democratic party might give the administration a break.
So I'll join with AE in expressing cautious optimism, along with the obvious fact that there's plenty of work left to be done. But it's still frustrating that GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove let it go so late; I just hope that keep the sense of urgency they've shown in the last couple of weeks. Now that the momentum has changed--if ever so slightly--every possible advantage must be pressed home.

I never meant to imply that I think your concerns are unfounded--it's an important point that you and Rick make and it should be repeated lest anyone gets complacent.

Thanks, and I didn't think you did.
