Look, I don't honestly care: I suspect history will regard him with extreme prejudice whether the Dems take the house or not. I do think his governoring days (a nice typo because it's so Bushian) are essentially over in either case, and your point about what benefits Dems in '08 is Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15028593.post-1148342439187373172006-05-22T17:00:00.000-07:002006-05-22T17:00:00.000-07:00i actually think the right has whipped their parti...i actually think the right has whipped their parties favorite issues into too much of a frenzy for them to hold together a united front for more than one photo op. almost an inverse of the late 60's an early 70's for the left, i hope.<BR/><BR/>and i'd rather not go farther down this rabbit hole, than we all ready have, it stinks and i'm not sure we'll be able to find our way out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15028593.post-1148341796708092312006-05-22T16:49:00.000-07:002006-05-22T16:49:00.000-07:00Charlie, I think you misinterpret the post.

It's clearly worse for Dems if he does. (And it's only good for Bush--it's far worse for GOP legislators).<BR/><BR/>I hope VERY MUCH to see the Dems retake Congress.Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.com
