Bull Moose: "The Moose offers a modest proposal for the Coalition of the Adults. In the next three weeks, Iraqis will go to the polls to elect a government - a flawed government - but it will be a very rare exercise in democracy in that part of the world. It is a moment to be celebrated whatever your position on the war. And it is also a moment when our leaders should be united in showing their support for the brave Iraqis who will risk their lives for an action that we take for granted - and for the American troops who will defend them. These democrats and our soldiers will be confronted by an assortment of Jihadist and Baathist terrorists who will seek to kill voters and disrupt the election...It seems to the Moose that there should be a brief interval (3 weeks) when our leaders suspend their talk of withdrawal or 'withdrawal lite- redeployment' and vocally indicate their support for Iraqi democracy. Progressives certainly should embrace this heroic act of choice and self-determination. Congress should pass a bi-partisan resolution in support of the Iraqi democrats. Hopefully this resolution should be sponsored by both supporters and opponents of the war. It is a notion that hopefully can bridge the gap over the wisdom of the war."
Political Wire: "New York Governor George Pataki (R), 'eyeing a run for the White House in 2008, has snared a major fundraiser for the first President Bush to head the New York governor's national political action committee,' the AP reports. Walter Ganzi Jr., who was the national finance chairman for George H.W. Bush's 1988 presidential campaign, will be the finance chairman of the Virginia-based Pataki PAC."
