Upon further reflection, I see I may have missed your point. Namely, that the Dems can use opportunities like this speech, to push Bush back into the spotlight. They can then attempt to tar McCain by association with an unpopular President, by forcing him to respond. Valid point.
I think this particular battle may have backfired on them, by making them look too defensive on the issue of appeasement. As I said previously, I think most people would not have paid much attention to this speech, and therefore not have connected the appeasement statement to Obama, if they hadn’t made an issue of it.
