some liberal callers to talk radio actually wishing that the next president ends up a Republican. Their belief is that we won't be out of Iraq by then and that any Democratic president would inherit a horrific destiny and be labeled as a loser even if they were left with an untenable situation. They'd rather see a Republican saddled with the shame of having to leave in defeat.
I don't share that wish at all and luckily those people are a real minority but I do understand their concern. I still believe most Republican citizens are honorable people and I think they would understand that anyone left with this mess would not have many options and certainly wouldn't be the one marked with the legacy. I don't think a lot of people in the country were necessarily ashamed when Vietnam ended as it did. I think by then the relief to be done with it was enough to counteract the ego drop.
