News reports have President Bush and Karl Rove very upbeat about the coming election even though polls show Republicans in trouble.This make sense. President Bush is very concerned about his place in history. If Republicans lose either the House or Senate or both, President Bush will spend the rest of his term blaming Democrats for his inability to do what is necessary to solve problems. It has to have been very frustrating to have Republican control of the Presidency, House, Senate and Courts and have such a terrible record to show after six years.
President Bush might even be relieved if Democrats won one of the legislative branches. He could dump all of the problems he has created on the Democrats and probably start sleeping a little better at night.
Karl Rove would love a Democratic win. He would have two years to prove Democrats are just as incompetent as Republicans when they can't solve all the problems Bush created in six years. Two years to spin six years of failures and orchestrate a Republican Presidential win in 2008.
So, of course, President Bush and Karl Rove are upbeat about the mid-term elections. No matter who wins, they can't lose.
Unless the Democrats win big, then get their act together and show how a party in power can truly lead.
