Frist needs to start playing hardball or he'll find his cajones in a vice, which I'm afraid has already happened.
Its a constitution issue and the Republicans better not forget it.
Me thinks the President has to let Frist do what needs to be done and that is force the rats to a 24 7 filibuster on this issue. Get the war over with and slam the rats but good...2004 we are in trouble already..
from the washington times today...
Losing ground
President Bush would lose narrowly to a Democratic Party candidate if the U.S. presidential election were held now because of concerns about war and the economy, according to an opinion poll published yesterday.
The survey of registered voters by Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., found that by a margin of 48 percent to 44 percent, voters would pick the as-yet-unknown candidate out of nine Democrats running against the Republican incumbent. The survey of 1,232 voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percent, Reuters news agency reports.
Mr. Bush's approval rating was at 53 percent to 39 percent, the poll found, but only 9 percent were "very satisfied" with the way things were going in the nation. Thirty-five percent said they were "somewhat satisfied," 28 percent "somewhat dissatisfied" and 26 percent "very dissatisfied."
