The reason for the Republican victory Tuesday night lies more in the current weakness of their opponent than in the political attitude of the country. The leadership of the Democratic Party has decided to sacrifice principles to political calculation, yet, with the exception of former President Bill Clinton, nobody in the leadership of the Democratic Party has any skill for political calculation. In failing to provide principled opposition to the prospect of war with Iraq while allowing this issue to dominate the debate, pushing aside topics such as Social Security and energy policy, the Democrats have been attempting to separate themselves from the Republicans without directly opposing the popular president. They are in the position of doing neither what is popular nor what is right.
