Democrat's Choice - Politics or Principle

We Democrats have been acting too principled for the dirty game that is democratic politics. While adhering stubbornly, though rightly, to our progressive values, we have let the seats of power needed to actually support our cause(s) slip through our fingers.

I encountered some good advice from an adversary, Joe Scarborough, we may do well to consider. We really do have to win/win back some senate seats folks.

While cruising the MSM blogs (MSNBC in this case, obviously), I also came across Eric Alterman counting the ways Iraq has proven to be a fool's errand. We all have the benefit of hindsight now, but some of us predicted the chaos from the beginning.

It wasn't that hard either.
