It'll be interesting. There are obviously a whole bunch of conservatives with very profound concerns about Bush's domestic and foreign policy who have been hoping that a Kerry victory would let them avoid an internal conflict. Now it's up to them. Can the adults in the GOP stage an intervention? In Congress, DeLay is maybe more of the problem than Bush, and I'm not optimistic that Republicans will do anything about him.

We'll never know, but it's an interesting question whether it's worse for the repubs to win or lose--because now the split will come while in power as opposed to while on the sidelines.

I noted with interest, though, during the corporate tax handout bill, that one of the deficit hawks, Susan Collins, said "fuck it, and give Bath Iron Works [and related military-industrial complexes] the money, and I'll vote yea"
