Elite Media on Thompson

Washington Post: How Thompson effect could change the Republican race but also how the race has developed the high and lows for other candidates through this period and their debating skills in the Debate. VERY FAIR ARTICLE.

New York Times: Looks at how Thompson has entered the race and some of the problems it has caused in more traditional areas. But on the whole a very fair article.

Republican Debate

When History is working for you, you can do no wrong in politics, Ronald Reagan was right about the Soviet Union, all the experts in the USA who wanted to talk and deal with the USSR as a equal of the USA had gotten this Issue wrong. Senator McCain had supported the Bush Administration in Iraq, thus his campaign had to suffer the consequences. This time history might be working for Senator McCain, is Iraq turning a corner, can he became the Front Runner in the Republican Field.

In the Debate McCain looked good and he had Iraq as an Issue. Governor Romney looked he had spent to much time with Democrats, he took the middle road and thus McCain could go on the attack. Giuliani stressed his role not alone on 9/11 but through his time in New York, his record in New York is great, changed the placed for the better, best record of all the crowd.

After watching the Debate, score cards from VIEWS: McCain A+, Giuliani A, Romney C -. Will this change the polls, time will tell.

Democratic Party and Iraq

The Democratic Party made a deal with Appeasement, slight problem Iraq just might have turned the corner. The NYT reports that the Democrats in Congress are know open to compromise as to get 60 votes to end a Republican Filibuster of their ideas for Iraq. The problem is its a game, the President would Veto any Democratic Time Table for getting out of Iraq. If it is true that the the reports on Iraq will show success it is doubtful they can get 60 votes, but even if they did they could not get 67 votes to over turn a Presidential Veto. The President should stand tough and force the Democrats to see what happens when you make deal with Appeasement.
