DEMOCRATIC DIFFICULTIES

October 29, 2004

Imagine you are one of the nine Democrats running for president. There have been two major issues on all nine’s talking agenda: Iraq and the economy.

Yesterday, Fox started showing some exclusive film footage of the incredible atrocities by Saddam Hussein. It’s almost too difficult to watch the brutality, to which I will not go into here. The point is simple though. Those who have been against any war (Dean), and those who want to pull our troops out immediately (Sharpton and others) are coming up against some tough realities.

Saddam needed to go, and we can’t go because to do so would open up the nation and people to more of the same. We have to finish the job and that’s probably going to mean the re-election of Bush since none of the nine would do it.

Then there’s the economy, stupid. Well, then there was the economy before yesterday when the GDP bolted forward by 7.2% showing the strongest growth is NINTEEN YEARS. Now, it’s hard to go back on the political trail today and harp on the economy after that number was released.

One statistic doesn’t make a recovery and a couple of films don’t end a controversy; however, here’s the real point. When your program or agenda is just ‘anti’ whatever Bush is doing, you are in trouble. And when the two major planks of all of the candidates have been Iraq and the economy, well, today’s a tougher sell.
