Repubs are in full campaign mode...

Democrats need to be aware of that. Running ads against the Dems. On the stump for the Iraq war. Passsing taxcuts for their friends. But, I guess they are always in campaign mode, huh?

3. Exactly, when are they not?

And that's how we got where we are. All they know how to do is campaign, they no nothing of governing.

2. Good job, Howard Dean

How much money that could have been banked for the November elections will have to be spent now to defend the Democratic party from something ITS OWN CHAIRMAN said?

5. No kidding. I really don't mind Dean as DNC Chair...

but why can't the guy think before he speaks? Reid now will have to work double to regain what Dean dismantled. Remember how good we felt after Reid forced the GOP to consider Phase II of the Iraq intelligence investigation?

Now WE are back on defense. :(

6. It is a shame...

And worst of all, his remark is as much as saying to the voters..."Don't look at us. We have no answer for the mess in Iraq."

7. They're back after a year lull

After "winning" in 2004, they got over-confident. For example, their "campaign-style" push for destroying Social Security was nowhere near as forceful as their election year ads attacking Kerry. Then, Social Security save, Schiavo backlash, Katrina, Libby and DeLay in trouble, and Bush is in a freefall.
