I heard on NPR last night of all places, John Fund from the WSJ and another republican consultant discussing this very topic. It was what I wanted to hear as I was beginning to think I was the only one who saw what is coming, at least around here.
They were adamant about dems picking up seats because conservatives ARE NOT going to support RINOs (they called them moderates) as they won't support them. They stated the the republicans have all the power but have abandoned their principles that got them there in the first place.
They essentially said the WH and the party has got 6-8 to turn it around or say goodbye.
They musta' said Bush is a republican but governs like a liberal a dozen times.
Who is your guy in 2008?
If 2006 is a self-imposed disaster, imagine 2008. Not to be called a heretic, but if the republican party does not get its act together it is feasable to lose both the executive and legislative branches in one fell swoop.
That's when the gains in SCOTUS will be wiped out. The sleepy Ginnys and the other liberal rot on the panel will retire only to be replaced by more of the same poison.
Be afraid.
