While Sen. Lieberman has lost support among some Democrats, probably because of his strong support for the war in Iraq, he helps make up for it with support from Republicans.

President Bush was in trouble. Nothing was going right, and the war in Iraq was rapidly losing support. Democrats smelled victory but kept bungling the chance. Their nominee was so unappealing that Bush and the GOP scored a giant victory.

Yes, we've seen his numbers drop among Democrats, but he still enjoys a good approval rating among Democrats. And his support for the war has helped boost him with Republicans, which has kept his overall approval rating high.

Some Democrats say the estimated $60 billion dollar cost of a war with Iraq could be better spent at home. When he heard that, President Bush agreed and announced plans to bomb Ohio.

I voted to support the war in Iraq and want to do nothing that appears to undermine our president, ... But I feel that I cannot sit idly by and just watch the United States be bogged down in a guerrilla war in Iraq with more and more American casualties every day.

Our motives (for war against Iraq) are becoming mixed as extra motives are thrown into the pot.
