From Meet the Press:
MR. RUSSERT: Fifty-five percent of our respondents, Byron and Gene, said we should pull troops out of Iraq, start scaling down, if you will. Will there be pressure within the Republican Party, come the 2006 midterm elections, to proclaim victory and start withdrawing troops?
MR. YORK: You know, before Katrina happened, I was doing a story for National Review about where the Republicans, who had been in their districts over August, where they were on this. And they were– they were pretty solid and they felt that the upcoming elections on October 15 were very important and that they should continue to support the president on this. So as far as any sort of peeling off of Republicans on that, I just haven’t seen it. And I will align National Review with Bill Clinton on this. I think there is still the possibility of good things happening out of this.
Too strange bedfellows for Sunday morning!
