You know what I think about featuring National Security and the Iraq Debacle in this election.
Here's Josh Marshall -
" . . . That's why it's time for Kerry to engage on the defense and national security issue. Since that's really what this election will come down to.
The president cannot win this election on the economy. Barring a rapid change of circumstances over the next three months the data and people's experience of the economy is as best too muddled for the president to run on it successfully.
But he can win on national security. And that's the reason Kerry should engage him on this issue now -- at a moment when the White House seems to be having great difficulty reacting to quickly changing events and shaping the direction of the campaign debate. This is the one issue on which Kerry cannot allow himself to be pigeonholed or adversely defined."
