DEMS TO TAKE 70 GOP SEATS?

The DCCC actually thinks they will win more than seventy House Seats now held by the GOP next Tuesday. Hitting the Kool Aid? May be wishful thinking but underneath the hope is the fact that all these previously "safe" Republican seats are now in play. The DCCC page is showing more and more Republican seats falling into the Democrat's hands AND they are getting late donations of big money.

On the other hand, Geraghty in NRO, sees the GOP taking seven Demorcatic seats. Whew, that means the Dems only pick up sixty seats. Glad that's over.

Podhoritz sets up this straw man in the New York Post, the only paper to gain circulation over the past year, and then proceeds to knock him over.

Thus, in this reckoning, the entire Iraq adventure was a fool's errand - well-intentioned but fundamentally unworkable because it was based on the notion that Iraqis would step up to the plate and take control of their own destinies in a positive way.And then proceeds to demolish him. A good piece, as usual, that sets out the other side of the "Iraqis have never stepped up to the plate" POV.

He then continues to point out how the normal Iraqis have stepped up to the plate.

Super Kerry joke up at Patterico.....
