Rove must be thinking (but not saying) "this is just way too easy." The Dims learned nothing from their 2002 experience when the voters whacked 'em for opposing the Prez on national security issues.

It is just too easy, kind of like reverse jujitsu and the Dims can't help themselves-the photo op drove them crazy!

The more liberal Democrats think they lost because they didn't oppose Bush enough. The less liberal ones think they lost because they opposed him too much. The few smart ones realize that, when your opponent is popular with both his base and swing voters, there's really nothing you can do except hope that either he somehow self-destructs, or something outside his direct control (like the economy) brings him down. It sucks to be a Democrat these days.

They still think it is because they didn't get their message out. Hehee....let them keep thinking that.
