...There are problems. These are Democrats, after all. They remain muddled on Iraq. Their special-interest groups, especially the teachers' unions, were strengthened last week by the defeat of Arnold Schwarzenegger's California reform initiatives.

He wanted the special election, which will cost the state more than $50 million, but Republicans now think it may have been a mistake.
