That's what's making Chris Shays flip-flop.

and I say that because she is not the only Dem on Hardball who has said the exact same thing.

They have clearly made the calculation that calling for Rumsfeld's resignation is the way to go and it is frankly - stupid.  Rumsfeld's exit won't change the policy which is what Matthews rightly keeps pointing out to them all.  But just one thing, they should say that Matthews' question is unfair because he and they know that the President is the "Commander in Chief" which means that he alone makes the decisions about troop movements.

Farrell did do the best she could with what she had.  The Democrats need to freakin' figure this one out and fast or we will lose this election.
