While listening to Hannity discuss G.W.'s moderate stance lately, the caller raised an interesting theory. With the Senate and House control in the balance, could it be that Bush is getting the ire of Conservatives up so that they would get out in larger numbers in November to vote Conservative/Republican, thus insuring House.Senate control for the remainder of his first term? Once that happens, Bush may not seem so hog-tied to pander to liberals.

I think he'd depress the base more than fire it up. Unless there are some unforeseen events, I think its a good bet the Rats will win control of both Houses of Congress this fall.
