Running against the Party

I think I can see the beginnings of the Republican Campaign in 2008.

The focus will not be running against the candidate. It will be a run against the Democrat Party.

The Democrat's leaders in the past couple of weeks have given the Republicans issue after issue. The main issue they have given is national security. The very place they were weakest.

I wonder - have they thought this through? Or to be perfectly George Galloway - are there sinister forces at work?
