Most of their base thinks they have a mandate to undermine the war. What they fail to realize is the seats which put them over the top in the last elections are located in Republican-leaning districts which crossed party lines precisely because of conservative Democrats who promised not to cut and run during the campaign.Undermining the U.S. will not sell in those districts. If they go for it, they lose thier majority in 2008. If they don't, the moonbats go nuts. And let's face it, Reid and Pelosi are simply not saavy enough to smooth things over within their party.The 2008 Republican will benefit from this. They support the troops and because they are not members of the Administration, they won't be tied to the administration's "mismanagement." The Dems will be waving the white flag though. That's a political strategy that may work in France, but not here.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1605','Mike'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1605','Mike','I\'m not sure the President\'s numbers will go up much but the Dems are stuck.

Most of their base thinks they have a mandate to undermine the war.

Undermining the U.S. will not sell in those districts. If they go for it, they lose thier majority in 2008. If they don’t, the moonbats go nuts. And let’s face it, Reid and Pelosi are simply not saavy enough to smooth things over within their party.

The 2008 Republican will benefit from this. They support the troops and because they are not members of the Administration, they won’t be tied to the administration’s “mismanagement.” The Dems will be waving the white flag though. That’s a political strategy that may work in France, but not here.

Also the sampling data of the poll is murky. That being said, I agree that the Dems will overplay their hands and get nailed in the next election... if the Republicans will actually fight back and even (God forbid) go on the offensive!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1604','Ryan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1604','Ryan','I wonder if the poll was only released when the numbers were at their highest.
