IF the media covered what happened last night, at all or with any accuracy at least...YES they would likely lose seats. But it happening on the weekend and the convenient memory and priorities of our beloved media, it will be buried under "Rove's possible indictment" and "Bush defending the war overseas" and all the rest.

Bad analysis. We don't NEED for this to get out for it to yield 30 seats. What is important is that the Dems went on record "for" the war, and the Moonbats will go bananas. They will run radicals in the primaries; and some will win; and when the incumbents run in the generals, it isn't REPUBLICANS who will defeat them but their base by staying home/not funding them.

This is reversing 180 degrees what had happened with the Miers/Katrina stuff where the GOP base was getting turned off and Bush's poll numbers (and those of the GOP in Congress) sagged. That wasn't DEMS sinking Bush, it was REPUBLICANS. Now, it will be DEMOCRATS (the radicals) sinking the moderates.
