Digby: They Were Only Following Orders

There is a lot of chatter in the blogosphere about this article in the Washington Post this morning. It's filled with interesting quotes (and analysis) but there is only one that I think is really important because it signals that at least some members of the Democratic establishment have figured out the right way to frame this race. And it's very simple:

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Friday he is not worried about the fallout from the Senate primary on House races, arguing that the message from Connecticut is that anyone supporting Bush's war policies is in deep trouble. "What's playing out here is that being a rubber stamp for George Bush is politically dangerous to life-threatening," he said.
