If the Democrats didn't have enough to worry about, some natural allies are asking that they support Bush's Middle East roadmap. It would seem that those who wrote the letter are so reflexively Democrat that they can't stomach the idea that Bush is actually their best ally.

A group of prominent Democratic Jewish donors sent a letter today to the Democratic presidential candidates urging them to support, or at least not to oppose, the Bush administration's "road map" for peace in the Middle East.

"As the presidential campaign begins to pick up steam, we know that the pressure on you to criticize the administration will increase," the letter said. "But, as long as the administration remains actively engaged in an effort to implement the road map, we ask you not to put obstacles in the way of the president's Mideast peacemaking policies."

How good are you looking when the opposition is making inroads with your base?
