There are lots of things the Dems must do. But the most important, address the unitary presidency of George W. Bush.

What matters most. For example, that Bush is STILL trying to run the show as the U.S.'s unitary president, its king if you will, without regard for, let alone concert with, the verdict of the American people on November 7, or the American people's newly aligned Congress:

President George Bush has told senior advisers that the US and its allies must make "a last big push" to win the war in Iraq and that instead of beginning a troop withdrawal next year, he may increase US forces by up to 20,000 soldiers, according to sources familiar with the administration's internal deliberations.

Mr Bush's refusal to give ground, coming in the teeth of growing calls in the US and Britain for a radical rethink or a swift exit, is having a decisive impact on the policy review being conducted by the Iraq Study Group chaired by Bush family loyalist James Baker, the sources said.
