Predicting Democrats Wimpiness

Cleaning out old bookmarks I came across this post from Robert Reich's Blog made back in January, Why Dems Won't Stop Bush's "Surge" in Iraq

"As long as Dems remain opposed to Bush’s policies and the Democratic leadership offers some semblance of unity in opposition – while at the same time giving Bush the money he wants to carry out his policies – the Dem candidate in 2008 can blame Bush and the Republicans, and no Republican candidate who supports Bush will have a comeback. McCain’s strategy of distancing himself from Bush by arguing for more troops is about to backfire on him, because he’s going to get what he wants – and America will see just how tragically wrong he is (Edwards has already, adeptly, labeled it the 'McCain doctrine.')"

He certainly wasn't the only one to predict it, but he said it clearly.
