The party in control of the WH loses seats in Congress and the Senate which often leads to lame duck status for the last two years of the term.

The stakes are obviously high here but let's not forget history.

That said, the Republicans are in some disarray right now. Too many people have thrown Bush under the bus on Iraq and the immigration (and to a lesser extent) and spending issues have had a major impact on the conservatives. They are going to have some difficulty firing up the base just so the other guys don't win because appealing to fear only gets you so far. If the party was on the Right side of spending, immigration and even the WOT the Dems would have no chance.

The GOP is on the right side of the war on terror. For you to imply otherwise is ridiculous.

That glass of yours...half empty, eh?

The President, a large segment of the party and the vast majority of the American people, are on the right side of the WOT.
