If nothing changes or if things become even worse than they are now (which seems like a safe bet) the GOP bloodletting in ‘08 could be catastrophic. By now it ought to be obvious that the President’s agenda is focused exclusively inwards on his own narcissistic navel. The President’s party is on their own. So what will they do? At least two prominent Republicans, Heather Wilson and Gordon Smith, have jumped ahead of the flip-flop curve, though both have served in Congress long enough to know how deeply the President cares what they think.

Now is the time that the Democrats will ensure that all of their corporate political supporters get the big government contracts to suck as much money from the Treasury as possible for supporting the ongoing operation in Iraq. When Lugar said it would get ugly he wasn't referring to the mess in Iraq, he was referring to inside the beltway of DC.
