I understand your concern about the Republican coalition and the conventional analysis of the Democrat's "better" position.  However, I don't think that the conventional analysis necessarily applies in the current circumstances.

First, we are at war.  Most Americans realize this, even if they want to try to ignore it.   We are currently wallowing in a media induced fantasy that if we just "give peace a chance" everything will be fine, but no one really believes that.  I give it weeks, not months, before someone stands up and slaps a John Murtha or Nazi Pelosi very publicly (in the fashion our VP just did, but it will need to be someone else to have the effect I imagine).  The Washington Post came close this last week with their vicious comments about Murtha's "slow bleed" plan.

The majority of Democrats do not agree with the Dhimmicrats who are in charge, but they have been able to delude themselves into denying that their party leaders were flat out traitors because of their collective hatred of Bush.  Well Bush isn't running in this next election.  And the contrast between the American position and the Dhimmicrat position will be bared for all to see.  I expect the Joe Lieberman liberal but American wing of the Democrat party to stand up and spit in the eye of the George Soros moonbat wing of the Dhimmicrat party. 

By front loading the primaries this time around they may end up stuck with a Soros Dhimmicrat as their candidate before they come to their senses.  If so, I will expect the lowest turnout by Democrats in history.  I don't think their party will survive intact if that scenario plays out.

PerConPat correction: I see the possibility that the strains created by social, Constitutional, and security divergences may now have sown the seeds of an eventual Pub disintegration.

It's just too much for some of us to watch Nascar and type!

An excellent point...I am always reminded of the old saw: "The Republicans fight like cats and go home and sulk. The Democrats fight like cats, and suddenly there are more cats." At any rate, I'm hoping that you are correct. By the way, I share some of your concerns about our birdfarms cruising the Persian "Lake." I do think, however, that initial operations launched from the Arabian Sea could be effective in making the region safer for our follow-up activities.

You may be right. There is some indicate of the ground shifting under the feet of the Democrats all ready. Seems the Blue Dogs have all ready quietly told the Leadership they will under no condition support the Pelosie-Murtha "Slow Bleed" program so that appears politically dead. Then it looks like the "Me Too" RINOS in the US Senate have told the Corrupt Harry Reid that he has gone a Resolution too far and they are not willing to support additional efforts to play PR games over Iraq.

So while it is always hard to know who has the real facts and who is merely playing PR games, (and you can never trust DC not to totally muck things up until the Congress is in Recess) but there are some indications someone sane has FINALLY got the DC Political Establishment's attention on Iraq.

That or the polling data on the issue is running real hard against the Democrats. Notice the complete absence of polling questions on Iraq recently? We got multiple poles a week from about Feb to Nov last year but suddenly no that the Democrats have the Congress how they are doing in publics opinion is no longer banner head line news.
