Democrats say they will run on national security issues

WASHINGTON - Democratic U.S. senators say their party's challengers in Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylvania will campaign on national security issues and tie Republican incumbents closely to President Bush.

Senator Chuck Schumer is the head of the Democrats' Senate campaign committee.

He says Bush and the Republicans are weak enough in the polls that they won't be able to campaign as effectively on national security as they did in 2002 and 2004.

Schumer says a number of events such as the war in Iraq have given Democrats an opening because the public now has doubts about the Bush administration's competence.
