THOMAS EDSALL: Will the GOP blindside the Dems on national security?

Hmm. Blindside? How can it be blindsiding when, as Edsall says, “Republicans are making no secret of their intentions in the general election.” I guess if you take advantage of a national-security blind spot, you can still blindside, even without secrecy. None is so blind as he who will not see . . . .
