Todd Gitlin: Not so fast. George W. Bush's season of defeats does offer the appearance of deliverance for Democrats. While Harry Reid's move Tuesday to throw the Senate into closed session to demand answers on Iraq intelligence was a good start, Democrats need a lot more of such fighting spirit to prevail, despite all Bush's troubles. It's going to take a lot more than indictments to defeat the GOP. The only way the Democrats can win back at least one house of Congress is to look and sound like fighters. And the only way to look like fighters and sound like fighters is to be fighters.
