WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 — Democrats are heading into this year's elections in a position weaker than they had hoped for, party leaders say, stirring concern that they are letting pass an opportunity to exploit what they see as widespread Republican vulnerabilities...

Etc. etc. etc. Perhaps if the Dems want to score points against Bush, improve the opinion many Americans have of them, and help their country, they might consider opposing Bush's plans to flood the U.S. with cheap labor rather than supporting it as they do now. Just a thought.
