Los Angeles Times writer Noam N. Levey says congressional Democrats plan to embarrass congressional Republicans by forcing them to vote repetitively against anti-war legislation. That way, Republicans will have to explain those votes in the lead up to the next election. This is a strategy cooked up by former Clinton aide Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, "widely considered one of Capitol Hill's savviest political tacticians," according to Levey.
Is this a winning strategy? Surely it seems so to the anti-war left but how can a losing war strategy be a winning election strategy?
