The Republicans will probably lose in 2008 regardless of the Democratic nominee unless the Iraq war does a near-complete 180 in the next month or two.
From the elephant's mouth: If there isn't viable progress by the fall months, the Republicans will not be able to stay cohesive and support the President.
The lack of cohesion on the Democrats' part was part of the reason they were ousted from power for so long, and it sure wouldn't help the Republicans...
Or.... the Republicans could stay firmly behind the President and his ridiculous foreign policies until 2008, in which case the country will be even more sick of "keeping the course" that they'll elect a Green party President before another Republican.
So either way, Republicans are in for a hell of a next couple years unless Iraq suddenly quells.
And it isn't looking good for the GOP when the President keeps vetoing war spending bills (He just threatened one the Dems proposed two days ago). HE'S the one keeping the money from the troops by being a stubborn crybaby, not the Congress.
