On another thread it was mentioned that the new Democrat House makeup could cause Nancy Pelosi some problems. The same could be said for the Senate and Harry Reid.
While Governor of Texas Bush had a great deal of success rounding up conservative/moderate Dems and putting them with Republicans to get some things done.
The Dems who want to claim that Bush's presidency is over don't know George Bush.
"The same could be said for the Senate and Harry Reid." If someone as strong as Casper Weinberger couldn't make Jim Webb toe the line you can bet that Harry Reid won't. You will hear that Webb has been "in conflict" with the presumptive Senate leadership before the new congress is seated.
