Not good at predictions, but it's always a good bet :-(

With confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito as the next Supreme Court justice all but assured, Democrats seized upon this "most recent failure of the Bush administration" as a likely springboard for their party' s electoral triumph in November.
This latest setback for President George Bush - coming on the heels of free and fair elections in Iraq, a growing economy, the first December budget surplus since 2002 and movement by Europe and Russia toward the original White House position on dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions - sets the stage for a Democrat return to power in Congress this year, according to many leading party insiders.
"We've got him on the ropes," said one unnamed Democrat political strategist. "Alito's confirmation could be the knockout punch. When Bush is flat on his back like this, it's hard for Republican Congressional candidates to ride his coattails."
A celebratory mood prevails from Democrat offices on Capitol Hill, to DNC headquarters, to MoveOn.org and The New York Times. Several political action groups said they would immediately launch multi-million dollar TV ad campaigns to capitalize on their political momentum.
"It's the triumph of our progressive principles and ideals," the source said. "We've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going our way."

By the way, don't take my word on how smart, skilled, and judicious Judge Alito is. If you look (here), (here), (here) and (here). you'll find testimony from a large cohort of the judge's former law clerks, many of whom are conservative and many of whom are quite liberal. They all attest to his intellectual firepower and his innate sense of fairness, the two qualities you want most in a Supreme Court justice.
Great reads for truth about and the character of Judge Alito.
Mostly, the despicable Tom Harkin, but he's not getting very far...
I do too!
ROFL!!!
Its not contagious! ( Thanks to Us!)
Humor works when there is a grain of truth attached to it.

Subhead: Polls Point to Bush Defeat in 2008
It is reported that President Bush WILL NOT even get the nomination in 2008..gasp
LOL... good one
Careful now, the moonbats at DU will be so ecstatic reading this article that they won't realize it's satire and may overload and blow out the DU website with their tacky-whacky woo-hooing and hi-fiving each other.
Unwashed teenagers and warmed over '60s hippies like those who populate DU shouldn't be allowed to run a website that demonstrates to the entire world how weird some Americans can become if they continue to live in their Mom's basement too long after flunking their college entrance exam.
BTW, do colleges still give those exams? It's been so long since I took mine I imagine they've come up with a better way by now to find out how much class time you slept through in high school.
Hil-arious, as usual. :)
I'd also like to point out the 15 million dollars the DNC wasted on their Anti-alito TV & radio ads this month.
Money well spent for our side. *Snicker*
Hillary's pantyhose. When you think about it, Hillary is all they've got. She's their future, and that's got to be mighty depressing.
Redenbacher still looks better than Reid...even today...
