  • The polls you cite- are they relevant

    Glenn,

    I don't disagree with the thrust of your column, but I think the numbers you site in your update aren't especially useful. It's no surprise that Repblicans still approve of Bush, and that rank and file Dems are pissed at Congress for not pulling out of Iraq faster. But party members on both sides combined make up less than 50% of the voting public at last count. It's the other 50% that are going to drive the debate coming into the election year, and the ones the Dems are paying more mind to. (perhaps at their peril)
