Hear No Good. See No Good. Say No Good.

Iraq will never be good enough for American Democrats. That is the lesson that the world should be learning right now. When the New York Times is printing stories that contain actual truths such as this one:
A member of Iraq’s Presidency Council, whose objections had blocked a law calling for provincial elections by October, withdrew his objections on Wednesday in a sudden turnaround that raised hopes for long-sought political progress.
and Chuck Schumer, who, with the help of Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, ousted netroots favorite Lt. Col. Andrew Horne from the primary race targeting Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, is going on Larry King Live saying this:
The point is that ever since we’ve been there, the President’s goal is to let the Iraqis take over. They’re no closer to it today than they were before.
. . . you know there has to be a serious problem with the Democratic Party.
If the economy were such a winning issue for Democrats in their 2008 forecasts, they could concede simple points such as "long-sought political progress" in Iraq because as Iraq improves voter anger wanes and the issue becomes more irrelevant to the elections.
My guess is that Democrats sense a very real possibility that by November 2008 Republicans will be able to take credit for an improving Middle East and produce an economically realistic and strong platform to the American people - probably led by a VP nominee named Mitt Romney.
The mainstream media may want to re-define "dream ticket," because a McCain/Romney ticket would stabilize all three legs of the stool that the winning conservative coalition sits on.
