Because of the Dems vote on Friday night, they doomed themselves on the 06 election.
I have wondered if Rush is a FReeper lurker.
And he will be right. I think this could cost them up to 30 seats, regardless of how they vote: a vote against the war destroys their chances of getting "moderates" and GOPers to vote for them; and a vote for the war will destroy their fundraising and volunteer networks and open the door for primary challengers. They are screwed, and I really wish I could use a stronger term here. I cannot tell you how amazed I am that the GOP pulled this off, because it is truly one of those votes that can change a political landscape.
