If we sell Social Security Reform, we sell a larger house and Senate majority in 06. The Democrats are in the poistion of defending a Ponzi scheme that can only be fixed with a tax increase or a benefit cut. Hillary will look like a fool defending SS. Take it to the streets, and then take it to the bank. The rule of 72s all ways wins.
As the Dim-fanned mass hysteria about how terrorist attacks in the US are *more* likely now dies down, it will be because the dominos keep, well, standing up. We're not knocking down dominos, we're putting six-million-dollar-man legs on 'em. Anyway, that alone will make so-called antiwar Dims hard to elect, apart from Massachusetts and California.
Hillary very wisely saw this well in advance, and has been moving toward an apparently supportive position. That will give her an advantage over other candidates for the Dim presidential nomination -- as if she wasn't already the front-runner. Howard Dean will try his darndest to, as he sees it, revive the leftist ideology of the Dims, and as everyone else sees it, contribute to midterm losses in 2006.
Those losses, too, will play into the hands of Hillary Clinton.
