This war is just a nuisance for Chuck. He’s ready to lose and move on to something more interesting:
“I think Iraq will not be as strong an issue in the 2008 elections,” said the senior senator from New York, as he enters his second straight cycle as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “I think the surge will fail and the president will have no choice but to begin removing troops.”
In Chuck’s world there are more important matters than the survival of the West – cereal prices and discount air fare for example:
In place of promises for a new tone in Washington or a focus on such issues as climate change and war, he recommends the bread-and-butter politics of cereal prices, discount air fares and tuition tax credits.
The conservative base may be uneasy (or worse) but consider the alternative as we head towards 2008.
