don't be fooled with the help of this. Obama did not "take" his fellow Senators. This trip become paid for with the help of the US taxpayer. The accompanying Democratic and Republican Senators have been alongside through fact this become a Senate trip to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Europe. This become a Senate trip which has been grew to become right into a Obama campaign trip to the two conflict zones and Europe. This become not an attempt with the help of Barack Obama to attain out for bipartisan help with the two Democrats and Republicans.

Bush has tried too hard to move to the middle and it backfired on him. If Republicans are smart they will return to the Reagan conservatism that worked before. Republican voters are pissed off that Republicans are more like moderate Dems than like Republicans. It's time to get back to the true Republican platform - or else the liberal Republicans need to change parties. Dems will run on a conservative platform and then once elected, pursue their liberal agendas. Hide and watch - it worked for Lieberman...he WAS an 'independent' when he ran - but he has already said that we should consider him a Dem. What a sellout, but no surprises there....

It really just depends on the issues at hand immediately before the election. We'll have to wait until the summer of '08 to see.

What I feel they will do is if it looks like George is vetoing legislation, just to rub the Dems' noses in it (which looks bad on the GOP), they may align with the Dems on certain issues to distance themselves from a petulant president

Maybe, maybe not. If the next president is Republican then he or she will have to fight against house and Senate

They might actually realize if they want to keep their jobs they better act like a true Republican and not a Liberal democrat or Liberal Republican.

Since Bush leaves office and is not running in 2008, your question has no meaning.

I doubt it. It wasn't the president that lost this for them, it was their own failure to be Republicans and they know it. Cut spending and they'll be OK.

If they do, then they are purely cynical opportunists. Do we really always have such a low opinion of our politicians, whatever their party?
