Permanent Minority.

Organizations that purport to speak for Democrats, like the Democratic Leadership Council, are still employing people like Marshall Wittmann, a former GOP staffer and top official for the Christian Coalition. On December 2 Wittmann was quoted by the Washington Post saying that those who support an exit strategy from Iraq are “offering surrender”–a pure regurgitation of a dishonest right-wing talking point.

Toward the Majority.

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi courageously joined Representative John Murtha in demanding withdrawal from Iraq.
