Mitt
Mitt took two excellent positions recently. In both cases he continued to distance himself from Bush, in a manner that I believe is essential for any Republican to have a prayer of winning in '08. First, he strengthened his previous statements that while the invasion of Iraq was a success, the post-war planning has been mismanaged and unacceptable. Second, he took a stronger stand on illegals:
"I ... don't think it makes sense to have an immigration policy that says that if an illegal couple—a couple that comes across the border illegally—has a child here, that child becomes a U.S. citizen, that then the whole family gets to come in, if you will, through 'chain migration,'"

If Mitt ultimately wins the nomination, I would expect his criticism of the war's execution to increase dramatically in the post-primary phase of the campaign.
No doubt... The best strategy would be to make sure this is not seen as an advantage position of the Dem candidate. Then, once people feel that they are not voting for or against the war (a la mid-term "referendum" elections), he can run on the strength of the rest of his platform, which should still be compelling to a slight majority of voting Americans.
