You can bet the poll watching Party is terrified by this news. They are burning the phone lines on when to switch sides on the Surge.

Do Nothing Nancy has a front row seat at the Elevator Shaft.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I think that you may be confusing the thoughts/objectives of Joe Citizen with those of professional politicians and/or leftist political wonks.

There is no way one single rat can change sides on the Surge now. Especially Grand Speaker Rat Pelosi.

Yeah, that would be a poll with actual credibility. Of course, asking people’s opinions on something they actually know about might lead to - gasp - serious and helpful dialogue.

Bush is the anti-Clinton. Clinton held a press conference to claim credit for the sun rising in the morning. Bush tries to be a gentleman and above partisan politics. Unfortunately: Politics is not a gentlemanly business.

Bush needs to take a big calculated risk.

He needs to loudly and specifically say: "The reason we haven't been hit by more 911 type attacks is my policy of confronting the enemy on his home turf in Iraq. If they aren't busy dying in Iraq we will soon be busy dying in America. I know that people are tired of Iraq but people need to ask themselves: 'Am I tired of the security that the war in Iraq is buying us?'"

And imagine that any NYT Poll is 95% Democrat of which 62% have to prove they are card carrying Moveon.org members. That constitutes a fair and unbiased sample for the NYT/CBS Polling Samples.

IF THE RADICAL ISLAMISTS WANT OUR ENSLAVEMENT BY MEANS OF SUICIDE BOMBINGS, UNDER A WORLD WIDE CALIPHATE AND WE DO NOT OPPOSE THIS ENSLAVEMENT BY FORCE OF ARMS AS ALL FREE MEN..WHO LOVE LIBERTY...
ARE HONOR BOUND TO DO....
THEN ARE NOT PATRICK HENRY’S WORDS AS TRUE TODAY AS IN 1775?

‘Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take;

but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ‘

....March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry?

They'll just portray themselves as "for the troops" all the way and all they wanted was for them to succeed and come home safely.......

The DBM will cover for them... and so will the Hagel's, Snowe's... etc

Absolutely. Also, pollsters should ask people if the support a "cut and run" policy if that policy will dramatically increase the chance of terrorist attacks on the US. Those results would be very different.

If we abandon Iraq it will be seen as a disastrous mistake within two years...
