For the Iraq/Domestic policy post I’m working on, I’d love to collect cites that support or refute these two positions:

* That the Administration and Republican Party have tempered their policies toward Iraq in order not to make the war too “apparent” to voters – and to try and maintain their electoral advantage.

* That the Democrats have tempered their responses and positions on Iraq – and kept from fully formulating a policy on Iraq – in order not to risk this last election.

I’m digging, but any help is always appreciated….
