Sununu's Seat is On the Line

myDD reports that Sununu's seat is being targeted by the DSCC, and that there are multiple NH politicos interested in the seat.

There's going to be more and more of this. As Murtha said lo these six months ago, the American public is way ahead of the Congress. A CBS news poll reports that 75%-seventy-five percent-of Americans believe the president should get Congressional approval before escalating:

Do you think the President should have to get the approval of Congress before increasing the number of U.S. troops in Iraq, or should he be able to make that decision himself?

75% overall, 51% of Republicans, 93% of Democrats and 78% of Independents favor Congressional approval.

And the American people are also well aware of how bad the situation is. In reponse to this question:

Which of these do you think is most likely?
1. Iraq will become a stable democracy in the next year or two, OR
2. Iraq will become a stable democracy, but it will take longer than a year or two, OR
3. Iraq will probably never become a stable democracy.


Only 3 percent believe that Iraq will become a stable democracy in the next year or two, and 45% say that Iraq will never become a democracy. Opposition to this war is broad, and it is deep. The voters do not believe in either the war itself, or in the only remaining pretext the administration has.

Democrats need to get out of their foxholes and take strong anti-war positions, forcing Republican Senators to choose between the president's misbegotten war and their seats.

When you email your red state senators, be sure to include the pdf of the CBS poll.
