Reply #4: You are right, the Democrats have a real opportunity to frame

[wisteria]

this issue correctly and present it to the American people. This could actually start turning the issue of security into a Democratic strong point. It has to be handled very carefully though, and right now I am not at all thrilled at who is at the forefront on the ports issue. This could turn out looking like a political stunt and turn off Americans instead of keeping them on our side. IMO, the Clinton's need to shut up now along with Schumer and we need to find another spokesperson. I am not referring to John Kerry here, but someone who can't be accused of personally gaining something from this issue. That said, I have been wondering why Kerry has had very little to say on this topic other than referring to possible conflicts of interest in the deal. is it possible they-Reid, has asked him to take a lower profile right now?
