Since everyone (including me) is questioning what the Republican world (Bush, McCain, the RNC) was trying to do with yesterday's Appeasmentiana, I thought I'd pass along an alternative view from a well-connected Republican reader:
"Why is no one talking about the HUGE opportunity that Obama let pass him by? He could have publicly declined to comment on the President's comments citing the long standing custom of not criticizing a sitting president while abroad. He looks presidential and post-partisan. Then hold a presser in front of the gates of Andrews when the President arrives home. The second Air Force One touches down, unleash the attack. I thought he was supposed to be a new kind of politician, but he played right into the hands of McCain. Somewhere McCain is smiling about all the Jewish votes he just secured in Florida. This could not have been teed up more perfectly, yet Obama's camp found a way to slice it into the woods."
