This is definately a win-win situation for the Democrat party. If Bush vetos this bill the press will destroy his creditability. On the other hand, if it passes the Democrats will destroy the Republican party through crooked elections. The Dems have already found a loop hole in the bill which will allow them to funnel millions to their own supporters, such as the NAACP, to help get them elected.
How sad that the Republican party is so weak. Even in victory they are defeated by the Dems.

The RATS in congress & the press will howl but W's poll numbers will still be in the 80's, especially when we start kicking a$$ over in Iraq.

Yes, how very sad that at the very moment when the House Democratic Caucus is advising their members to run as me-too Republicans and the Republicans are leading on all of the top three issues and are leading in the generic Congressional matchups and amazingly leading by 5% in voter identification, their President is going to shoot them in both knees and cripple them so that they will never be able to win a majority in the House or Senate ever again!! True, this Democrat Incumbent Protection Bill will increase the prospects for Bush being re-elected in 2004 by its increase of individual hard money caps, but at what cost??--Speaker Gephardt in 2004 and the permanent loss of the US Senate which the GOP has a good chance of retaking in this year's election? However, I really do not see any downside if Bush were to reverse course and veto this unconstitutional legislation. Campaign finance is just not an issue that resonates with the American people.
