"I have a feeling they will pass increased defense spending."
Congress may pass increased defense spending, but at least half of the Democrats will vote against it.
Doesn't matter because most pubbies will vote for it. I think it's pretty damn clear that we need a larger military, and I think the more conservative Dems (including many of the new ones elected yesterday) will vote for such. And now the Dems have to have some ownership of the Iraq War, instead of just bitching about how Bush has handled it.
