...Republican failures on national security have opened up a political vacuum, the Democrats don't appear to be filling it. Ask a House or Senate Democratic campaign committee staffer who is the party's national face on security issues and you'll get this: Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island or Congresswoman Jane Harman of California. Reed is a serious, intellectually honest veteran and an expert on defense issues in the Senate, while Harman is an ambitious Harvard Law School graduate who is the ranking minority member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Both are credible and respected...
