Not very many lame duck presidents held working majorities in both houses of Congress.
2006 will be the determinant.
True. And my prediction is that the right will hold on, if not even increase.
But I don't see that as being a result of Bush, or a support of his economic or international policies, I see it as a reflection of what is happening at home.
Of course Bush could kamikazi all of it by throwing some sort of fit, but I give him the benefit of the doubt.
