As to Steyn's brilliance, I loved this: The 9/11 Commission? Nobody cares. You can't drive the car when you're staring in the rear-view mirror. And, as those polls showed, if Americans are forcibly plonked in front of that rear-view mirror, they lay more blame on eight years of Clinton administration policy than eight months of Bush administration policy.
I did not mean to say what a majority of Republican citizens would do. I meant to say what the members of Congress would do. I doubt seriously that a majority of Democrats would support staying the course. And I doubt that Republicans would buck public opionion to stay.
With the way Daschle has used politics to subvert the public good for partisan reasons, it is very unlikely that the Republicans in the house and senate would do anything to help Hillary govern. She would have to look to Democrats for support. As I said in my last post, the Demorats in congress have burnt the bipartisan bridges behind them. They would get little or no support from elected Republicans.
Every republican on capital hill knows that if they supported Hillary and it went wrong, she and the media would blame them.
Few democrats and evern fewer republicans would but their career in jeapoardy for Hillary. She would have to resign first.
