Josh Marshall, who ought to be an expert on this particular subject, on Democrats’ reactions to the bin Laden tape:
[Emails Marshall received] struck me with what is one of the Democrats’ greatest weaknesses: their vulnerability to getting knocked off stride by the rush of events, their tendency to fret that all is lost, almost to indulge in it, when the car hits a simple bump in the road.
(Emphasis in original). Note that Marshall has been down this road before. Which party do you trust to stick to its guns when times are hardest?
Excellent memory, Crank.
Mr. Marshall sure is in hyper-drive, eh?
Hyper something, anyway.
