We’re so used to seeing gung-ho support for the war, particularly in the Red States, that it is easy to forget there are islands of rationality and patriotism in this country where the war is not supported. Washington State is one of those islands. Therefore, Maria Cantwell is having a tough time being re-elected. On the one hand I have sympathy for those who, like Cantwell, voted for the war. They were put in a no win dilemma: vote against the war and appear weak on National Security, or vote for the war and become, along with George War Bush, part of the problem, not part of the solution. If Cantwell loses, well so be it. I hope the Democrats don’t lose her Senate seat though. Maybe someone will win who is anti-war and a strong candidate for the fall. Otherwise I would just as soon have Cantwell.

President Bush was wounded by the Supreme Court decision on Guantanamo, so you can’t blame the Democrats for trying to take advantage of that. Let’s just hope for victory in the fall elections. I have a feeling the president will then get a lesson in accountability.
