A small step for a movement, a giant step for mankind, or something like
that.  Hopefully the next months will blow them away even more.  Thanks
for the catch, Tom.

Subject: Iraq campaign and Right-Wing existentialism

As part of the existentialism that the RNC and the Right-Wing is going
through, one of the brighter of their dim bulbs, Patrick Ruffini,
asked this question today at the RNC Chair debate. As paraphrased by
Tara (who enjoys GOP events apparently), Patrick Ruffini asked
"Democrats united around the issue of the Iraq war and built a
movement that swept them to power, what issue are Republicans going to
unite around?"

Definitely a little hyperbolic with the economic meltdown etc... but
it is just a little reminder of the big hole we dug for them in 2007.
I thought you might appreciate the nugget.

Happy New Year,

Tom
