Well the Democrats did what they could. They were in a situation of "chicken" and in this particular situation they were driving a sedan against Bush's M1A2 battle tank and a head on collision would have destroyed the Democrats. The men in the field would have no money for fuel and ammunition or food or medical care, and the Democrats would take the rap for that. That would be the end of the Democratic Party except for in a few enclaves in California and New England.
