Who Is Gonna Dig Us Out?

Reading mainstream reporting out of Iraq and Afghanistan these days might lead one to think the old US of A has its mighty hands full. Bad news is everywhere and we are long past the time when public opinion can pull a 180. And while we haven't reached the point where liberal opinion writers are uniformly and correctly framing the issue (not as how we have bungled the whole adventure but that it was an immoral cause from go), we are making a difference. No, not the middling triumvirate, the mass of people that the blogosphere speaks to and for. Exhibit A is Ned Lamont. Who knows whether Lamont can beat Ol' Joe? What I do know is when we have the attention of big name conservative writers like David Brooks and entrenched old fashioned beltway cocktail party Democrats like Lanny Davis who can do nothing but scratch their nuts and throw rocks at us, we must be doing something right.

But the bigger question is, now that the current white house malefactor and his thugs hve run the ship aground and plan to leave it there until they can try to lie their way through two more elections, who has the real chutzpah to lead us out of this mess? Clue: Not a Republican and not Vilsack, Clinton, Kerry, Bayh, Warner, or Edwards. At least IMHO. Am I leaving anyone out?
