Hitler lost an Army at Stalingrad because he refused to give an inch. The GOP is faced in the same situation now. The Russians learned to cede ground for strategic regions but the Fuhrer could never bring himself to do so and it was disastrous time and again. It doesn't matter what motivates the Dems or how hypocritical they are what matters is public perception and Lott is a PR disaster if he stays in a leadership roll. I am not a big Bush fan but I think that he and Rove understand the situation and will take action, could be wrong but I give the men that much - they're smarter and more determined than the rest of the GOP dolts.
Agreed.
They've certainly shown themselves to be excellent generals!
Tactically this is "a Lott problem" but strategically it has great possibilities that Bush and Rove could exploit.
We'll see in Lott's remarks today what they've decided to do.
I'll support whatever they decide but I admit I hope they've taken the strategic view and not the tactical. I'm sick of the Dems' simplistic personal attacks maneuvers succeeding.
