The Democrat's Little Stunt

Betsy Newmark of Betsy's Page presents in depth the story of the Senate Democrat Walk-Out yesterday and sums up with:

Don't be dismayed about what the Democrats did yesterday. It is actually a sign of the weak hand that they're playing. They lost the hope of a Rove indictment or of Libby's indictment being tied to the intelligence leading to the war. All the criticism of Bush's actions about Katrina have been diluted by information of how local and state officials were themselves at fault in so many ways. The nomination of Alito had shifted the conversation and stemmed some of the President's drop in the polls as conservatives return to the fold. The story was shifting to the actions that Bush was announcing yesterday about combatting avian flu. So, all they can do is pull a PR stunt to try to drag the storyline back to their turf. It might have worked for one day, but the Democrats need something positive for their agenda and they haven't been able to come up with a positive agenda for five years.

Harry Reid appeared foolish and childish yesterday to everyone except the ranting nutcases. Frists statement that he could no longer trust Reid did more for the majority than Harry's stunt did for the Democrats.
