Bad News Is Good News For Democrats

We're already had high ranking Democrats admit that bad news in Iraq is good for them and their power grab, and today we had Sen. John Murtha confirm and make sure we didn't forget it.

Murtha also predicted that, despite the unpopularity of Congress, Democrats will make broad gains in next year’s election because voters are upset with the war.

"People are frustrated, but you're going to see a big Democratic increase," he told reporters after his speech. "I think we'll pick up 40 [to] 50 seats."

And that's what's important. Those seats in Congress.
