Looming Democratic victory: a win for conservatism.

The latest version of the "everything is always good for the GOP" meme.

DAVE WEIGEL: "if Democrats win power next month, they'll do it on the backs of very conservative candidates." He adds: "Democrats in tight races in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the rest of the swing districts are mostly running against voter malaise and Iraq war conduct, as opposed to the idea of the Iraq war.

Wow, this is some fantastic bullshit. From where did this "voter malaise" arise? Out of thin air? No, it came from rampant Republican corruption, an historically unpopular Republican President and failed Republican policies. Like Iraq. 64 % of Americans oppose the war because it was a Really Bad Idea To Begin With, not because they're quibbling over tactics.
