Moderate House Republicans warned the president yesterday afternoon that his policy on Iraq is hurting the GOP according to a report by MSNBC. According to the article they also warned the president he could not count on their support much longer.

I think during the 2006 elections most people assumed the war would look the same as it did through the 2008 elections but signs are showing that the Republican Party is very concerned about the backlash for the next election. IN addition reports have been coming out that some former heavy hitters for the Bush admin & the party are now moving toward the Democratic position and some to the Democratic candidates as well.

Yesterday retired Generals began a campaign to sway the administration from its policy and in addition the Vice President made a surprise trip to Iraq yesterday and warned the government their time might be running out. 2008 will undoubtedly be about security & about Iraq but unlike 2004 the pendulum of support seems like it is swinging in favor of the Democrats.
