Josh Marshall gently suggests to Harold Ford that if he's going to be cynical, he should at least pick an issue that will win him some votes. I'll take it a step further and agree with Steve G. that jumping on the kill Social Security bandwagon won't just not help him win a Senate seat, it will also probably cause him to lose his seat in the House.
Look, this is our issue. This is one we should be confident about winning -- perhaps not the legislative battle, but the '06 election. Democrats shouldn't be running scared from this, they should be salivating at the prospect of being handed a gift on a silver platter. They just need to be a bit smart.
