Iraq Poll Results


The data from a poll commissioned by Investor's Business Daily are very interesting and well worth a look. I hope other polling outfits will do similar polls to see how robust these results are.

What they suggest to me is that Congressional Democrats and Presidential candidates had better be careful, lest they follow Gen. John Murtha and his army of antiwar groupies straight off an electoral cliff. There are real dangers in being as heavily invested in U.S. defeat as the Democrats have become lately; it is not an attractive stance to most Americans. If the "surge" shows success, they will find themselves with a problem, one that their media allies will not be able to paper over.

John Murtha is a bad egg, and it really shouldn't take much discernment to recognize that; the guy smells from way off. Even the Washington Post has had enough of his act.
