So this election, to a very real extent, is a face-off
not between Republicans and Democrats, but between hard-line foreign policy
T-K-J Democrats--the Bush people--and the accomodationist C-C Democrats--the
Kerry people.

"Whose party was it in New York last week, anyway? Bush, Cheney, Miller, and
McCain mentioned Franklin Roosevelt a total of seven times and Harry Truman
twice--always favorably. John Kerry, John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Bill
Clinton, speaking in comparable slots at the Democratic convention, mentioned
Truman not at all and Roosevelt a grand total of once,... So the break between
the World War II/Cold Warrior Democrats and the post-Vietnam Democrats is
complete. This is, after all, the core of Bush's foreign policy.... It could
establish the Republicans as a real majority party--as the Roosevelt-Reagan
party, as the Truman-Bush party...."

So writes William Kristal in the Sept. 13 edition of Weekly Standard.
