Democrats Find Their Courage in a New Round of Poll Numbers

Swing voters want Congress to stand up to President Bush more
aggressively regarding Iraq, according to new focus groups sponsored
by Democrats.

Their polls also find that 60 percent of Americans disagree with the
president's policy in Iraq.

"People are angry," says a Democrat with access to the research.

These findings, more anti-Bush and anti-Iraq war than public surveys,
help explain why Democrats seem so eager for a showdown with Bush over
the war.

While a nonbinding Senate resolution criticizing Bush's troop surge
was stopped by the GOP, Democratic senators have a new gambit:

to try to repeal the 2002 resolution that authorized the Iraq war.

There really aren't any "swing voters" in most places. How could
there be any - if Bush, twice, won 1/4-black states like here (North
Carolina) by 13 points, mathematically implying he won virtually every
European-American vote regardless of sex, age, affluence, poverty, or
education level? How could there be any when Algore won every county
in Massachusetts?

After the last election there are far fewer repug states than there
are now. You guys lost big time. Now there may not be a lot of swing
voters but they aren't swinging towards you.

Bullshit - see if Hillary, let alone Obama, can win even one Red
Nation state in 2008. Electing a congresscritter just doesn't have
the same gut-level impact voting for a president does.
