The good news is that the Democratic Party picked up some wins in Kentucky and Virginia (the governorship and senate, respectively). The bad news is that the Dems caved yet again when facing Bush's threats in approving the nomination of Mukasey for Attorney General.
Schumer put us through tortuous logic in his attempts to rationalize his support of Mukasey despite Mukasey's refusal to accept waterboarding as torture. Schumer tells us that Mukasey tells him that if Congress passes a law clearly defining waterboarding as torture then he will accept it as such. Is Schumer naive (imagine making a backroom deal and then blaring it out loud in public), is he passing the buck, is he trying to save face for having put Mukasey forth as a candidate in the first place? Yes. Yes. Yes.
