Good point…

I've read the arguments of many whom I respect in the blogosphere that we have to win the 2006 and 2008 elections in order to change the course of the war (and our own nation), and that we can't do that with a "dove" at the head of the ticket. I reject that as a fallacy. The trick is not to endorse the Bush mission but to change the positioning of the Democrats.

The Democratic Presidential nominee in '08 will have to be someone committed to finishing the job - the job of withdrawal which should be initiated by the new Democratic Congress we must elect in 2006.
