The idea that John "fight-it-for-the-troops" McCain is having a late-day surge among thinking folks in New Hampshire is enough to give pause.
If it isn't dissatisfaction with the rest of the field, which is quite possible, it suggests that "anti-war", broadly put, may not work as strongly in nine-months as some suspect.
Coming back to haunt the Democrats will be all those quotes issued during the dark period when Bush arguably delayed making "tactical changes" for his own political reasons (the 2006 elections), followed by replacing Rumsfeld and, now, claiming "success" in a "surge" that could have been started months (and hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of lives) before it was.
