Reply #6: Agreed 100%. But wouldn't it have been a glorious fight?

Imagine the long-term political capital that would have been gained! Imagine how foolish the Republican leadership would have looked!

Democrats have co-ordinated the invasion of Normandy, put a person on the moon and lead the Civil Rights movement. This would have been doable. In fact, not even EVERY Democrat would have been necessary. Kerry could have stayed in Iraq, Lieberman could have been left out of the loop and the Republicans would still have egg on their collective faces.

If the shoe were on the other foot, this is exactly what the Republicans would have done.
