Please please please...

...oh Lord, let the left keep believing this sort of thing.

From the increasingly-incoherent Oliver Willis

I think Bush has problems with his base. Even with the Iraq war supporters, I don't see the motivation like there was to remove the Clintonians (in the guise of Gore). I think some percentage of fiscal conservatives see the upside of a divided government. Bush's campaign also seems to be quite focused on getting the religious base agitated, though you would have thought he would be past that stage by now (in that way, Kerry's been able to speak to his base from January, where Bush had no need to be involved in the primary season).

I think the independents were more pro-war than the Dem base, but as the situation worsens they may feel regrets and see Bush's continual declarations of progress a little hard to stomache as the body bags fly in each day.

Kerry has to hit on Iraq/national security and economic issues every day. Every day.

Problems with the base - a base that is over 90% behind the President?

"Hitting" on Iraq and national security - with what? Kerry is toothless; many politicians are whores in the bedroom and generals on the hustings; Kerry would seem to invert the two.

Look at Kerry's website; show me a "national security" plan? Anything?

Please, Democrats; hit on Iraq and national security every day. It'll be like Ross Perot hitting on sanity or Jesse Ventura carping about intelligence.
