Our system for choosing a President is coming unglued, and David Broder thinks the national parties need to fix it. I'm not quite sure how they could do that.

A group of moderate Republican congressman went to the White House yesterday and laid out the political facts of life for the President regarding the Iraq War. Basically, if the Iraq War is still going on much the way it has been going by November of 2008, most of those congressmen can start looking for new jobs. Which is why they need to see some progress soon, or they will stop supporting the President and join the Democrats in their efforts to end the war through the unilateral withdrawal of our troops, a withdrawal that one writer believes will cost us.

Victor Davis Hanson wishes the anti-war Democrats in Washington would be more honest about why they now oppose the war. Don't hold your breath.
