Keep your friends close…

…and your enemies in your sights. Bill Scher gets it...

The CAFTA vote this week is not the first bad thing and won't be the last.

But the vote may turn out to be a good thing politically, if we handle the aftermath correctly.

How might we handle it incorrectly? If we spend most of our energy lambasting the 15 Dem defectors in the House and the 10 in the Senate.

Those 25 Dems share some responsibility of course.

But it’s the 248 House and Senate Republicans that compromised the bulk of the CAFTA vote that share the most.
