A GOOD NIGHT FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE

William Kristol has a good comment in the Weekly Standard. He talked about watching the Democratic presidential debate last night, and found it to be encouraging because of the hope that it gives to the Republican party.Kristol correctly points out that the Democratic nominees have given Republicans a platform upon which to run: defeat in Iraq, permitting a nuclear Iran, illegal immigration, higher taxes, government control of health care, and more aggressive prosecution of the war on smoking than of the war on terror. Sounds like a good platform to me.
