In the end, I don't know if this makes that much of a difference as the Republican slime machine will be working overtime and this will just become more slime sent the other way, but I, for one, am extremely tired of McCain's holier-than-thou posturing and this should help put that in perspective for the voters. McCain is as duplicitous as they come and it needs to be noted. And noted again. And again. And again.

The Dems taking over at least one house of Congress would obviously stall the more radical aspects of the President's "policy menu for third world-ness," but it would also cement his place in history as the fighter for the Far Right as he sends every stinkin' wedge issue to Congress, setting up hope for a backlash against the Congress in the 2008 elections.

In that scenario, it would give guys like McCain the opportunity to veer way right for the 2008 campaign season, as the likelihood of anything passing would be next to nil. An invitation to irresponsibility, if you will.

So, in brief, maybe that's what Rover and his pet President would like.

I have ceased trying to understand the President.

We're still three weeks out, so there is still time for some of the close races that are trending Democratic to boomerang just enough to keep one house of Congress (most likely the Senate) in the hands of the GOP.

There are days when I feel the whole Bush charade is about to collapse under the whole weight of its deception (and constant politicization of pretty much every issue), but I'm too old to let my hopes get in the way of reality.

It's going to be 3 nasty weeks (and probably a week after that dealing with recounts) before we know the lay of the political land.
