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.

I think with 3 years left in his term he will get a pick for this seat through. It would surprise me to see an obviously offensively conservative sacrificial lamb go first and then a nearly equally conservative second pick where the line is "the dems are being unreasonably obstructionist". I invented the Rogers then Jones scenario. Remember that.

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.

I think that there is support and there is support. Some party members may not like the ideology but I think the ground rules will be made clear by Rove-you fuck with us and "our party" will kill you come election time.
