A Comedy of Errors

Democrats are exactly two weeks away from taking back the White House and expanding their majorities in both houses of Congress. So what in the heck are they doing? It's like a comedy of errors out there. Joe Biden hands McCain a tailor made argument on foreign policy. Barney Frank goes on the most watched business channel in American and says he's eager to raise taxes. Jack Murtha continues to insult members of his own district in Western Pennsylvania. John Kerry cracks wise about McCain's incontinence.

If you didn't know any better, you'd think Democrats were trying to screw things up on purpose. The political winds are still blowing heavily in Obama's favor. McCain has been pressing his new line of attack on taxes for almost a week now, but it looks like it might be too little too late.

Unless, that is, the various luminaries in the Democratic party continue to help McCain out. Democrats would be wise to remember that in situations like this discretion is the better part of valor. Better yet, just keep the mouths shut until November 5.
