At least one reason for a Clinton supporter to support the Surge

Sidney Blumenthal was driving while intoxicated on the night before the NH primaries--and police say he was traveling 70 mph in a 30 mph zone.
Clinton aide, Blumenthal, accepts deal in DWI case:

"Blumenthal pleaded guilty March 28 to a standard, misdemeanor DWI charge. He was fined $900, and his driver's license revoked for 10 months. Blumenthal can seek to get his license restored after 120 days, however, if he completes and alcohol education program in Washington, D.C., court records show.
. . . .

Police negotiated a plea bargain in part because the arresting officer, Christopher Ditullio, was called up for service in Iraq, and would not have been available to testify, [Capt. Peter] Segal said."
