Dick Morris (and GreenMountainPolitics1) Says "We Told You So"


The Democrat strategy in '08 is to run their campaigns like it's '06.

Especially within their own Party.

Who can not be pleased that since the 2006 election the only New Direction the Democratic Congress has taken in Iraq is more troops and more money for the war effort.
