Dems gain ground?

LAT reporters Noam Levey (Dem propagandist) and Julian Barnes report that congressional Democrats are gaining or have gained ground in "winning significant Republican support for legislation to challenge the way President Bush is managing the war in Iraq." Levey has long been a cheerleader for congressional Democrats. It's no surprise that he's optimistic. It's also no surprise that the LAT would put that optimism in print. It doesn't make it true, however.
