How hard is that to understand:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On the final Sunday of the election cycle, the leaders of the four Congressional campaign committees took their seats around the table of &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; on NBC, appearing together for the first time in the midterm contest &#8211; and promptly diving into a sharp exchange over the war in Iraq.<br \/>\n&#8220;To pull out, to withdraw from this war, is losing, there&#8217;s no question about it,&#8221; said Senator Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, the chairwoman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. &#8220;The Democrats appear to be content with losing.&#8221;<br \/>\nMr. Emanuel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, turned sharply toward Mrs. Dole, his face lined with outrage.<br \/>\n&#8220;You should take that back, Senator,&#8221; he said. But Mrs. Dole kept speaking over him, creating a minute of partisan cacophony on the television set.<br \/>\n&#8220;I will not sit idly by with an accusation that Democrats are content with losing,&#8221; Mr. Emanuel said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Democrats may not want to be the cut and run party and they may not want to be the party of losers but they&#8217;re the ones who are advocating leaving Iraq, how do we win if we leave?  Emanuel may not like it but that&#8217;s what his party is doing.<br \/>\n(Link via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drudgereport.com\/\">Drudge Report<\/a>)<br \/>\nYou can watch the entire show <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/10005066\/\">here<\/a>.
