Politics Daily — Filed under: Democrats, Republicans, Featured Stories, Iraq, EconomyIs there anything more American than rooting for failure? Fresh off our latest political campaign season, in which virtually every voter yearned for the defeat of the candidate that she or he wasn't supporting, we are reminded, once again, of the partisan dynamic that has taken hold of the nation's psyche.

Subtle rhetorical utterances can, in the eyes of the public, make the difference between being perceived as a loyal opposition, or as nothing more than a bunch of sour grapes. Just as Democrats struggled to find the right balance when confronting Bush policies that they abhorred (to varying degrees of success) so too must Republicans now strive to package their message in a fashion that doesn't make them look like sore losers or gleeful ...
