Intriguing. I guess the question of who's benefitted more depends on whether you think Bush will be able to get his pick through regardless. If he can, then R's win, because it's true that the energy to fight will dissipate the second time around, meaning the new chief will be even easier to pick.
But I'm not so sure Bush's support (and, more important, the repercussions of not supporting Bush for a senator) is as great as perhaps some think it to be.
