Politickin' sure is fun these days.

Look... Democrats can win when they strategize.

We beat down Harriet Miers by holding our fire and allowing Republicans to do all the dirty work.

We beat down Social Security reform... with a rather velvety hammer, if you ask me.

We beat down Legalized Torture... because we ally with John McCain only when it is politically astute and crucial that we do so.

And, I think this is important, and has been generally overlooked... yesterday, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) quietly forced Bush to flip-flop on the Gulf Coast Wage Cuts, and thereby saved Davis-Bacon, by working the smoke-filled back rooms of Washington. It was genius, and he proved then when Democrats stand up for the rights of the American worker, THEY WIN.
