7. Better than Kerry Winning IMHO

If we get a Dem House, it would be great. Even better if we get both houses, especially if we have veto-proof margins.

If we have a veto-proof majority (60% for most bills, IIRC) and the Dem party leadership is able to maintain party discipline, Shrub is basically a lame duck president for the next two years.

He wouldn't be able to get any of his agenda through, and the Dems would be in a much better position to bargain.

And that's WITHOUT Kerry winning-- which I'm fairly certain he will, given the way things are going.

:D
