good news/bad news
the good news: it looks as if the dems will win at least the house next week
the bad news: it looks as if the dems will win at least the house next week...
I say this because American voters are going to expect some kind of miraculous change in Iraq and if a Democratic Congress can make any changes (like investigating Halliburton and Kellog Brown and Root), it is going to be incremental change...decreased corruption may make a slight difference in how the war is going, but it isn't going to lead to peace and prosperity on the banks of Tigris and immediate American withdrawal.
I'm depressed by this whole thing..because I suppose there shouldn't be tossups right now. There should be massive national consensus that the Republicans have failed to govern.
The positive side of this whole thing is that Congressional Pages are safer from heavy breathing SMS's than they were two months ago...I am not sure about the rest of us.
