I'm encouraged by the moderates of the Republican party jumping ship.

Here are the Republicans up for re-election

Alabama Jeff Sessions
Alaska Ted Stevens
Colorado Wayne Allard
Georgia Saxby Chambliss
Idaho Larry E. Craig
Kansas Pat Roberts
Kentucky Mitch McConnell
Maine Susan M. Collins
Minnesota Norm Coleman
Mississippi Thad Cochran
Missouri James Talent
Nebraska Chuck Hagel
New Hampshire John Sununu
New Mexico Pete V. Domenici
North Carolina Elizabeth Dole
Oklahoma James M. Inhofe
Oregon Gordon Smith
South Carolina Lindsey Graham
Tennessee Lamar Alexander
Texas John Cornyn
Virginia John W. Warner

As you can see by the list and Republican defections up to this point, re-election is playing a big role in their attitude towards the troop deployment and how they feel about the war now.

What a difference an election can make.
