7. Optimism is great, but if we only had hopeless optimists in our party,

we wouldnt win many elections. The fact is that this does look good for Bush. And it brings up an interesting twist into things. Something we havent really had to face in a while.

What do we do if Iraq isnt such a miserable failure during the general election. What if theyve cut the casualties alot, have stablaized it alot, and have saddam on trial. That significantly hurts us, and especially certain candidates in our primary.

Its nice to hope that the truth and good guys win, but we have to be a little pragmatic in order to make that happen.
