Here's another great thing to add: According to reports I've read, Rumsfeld TRIED to resign several months ago, but Bush wouldn't accept it. Rummy is smart enough, and politically savvy enough to know that he was becoming too much of a symbol..

Had he left 5 months ago, I'm virtually certain the Rep's would still hold the Senate at least, and maybe the House..

I've been a W supporter for a long time.. but, his mis- handling of Rumsfeld will be hard for me to forget.

Yep. But Bushbots are still trying to remove the responsibility from him. :-(

Rummy didnt' have anything to do with the CONgresscritters losing their seats. They accomplished that all by themselves.
