They'll kiss his ass for this
They will give him ample attention
They will pay Bush back for his work
According to everything I've read, the party of the President historically suffers during mid-term elections.
Also according to everything that I've read, the GOP is within reach of Senate control and a firmer grip on the House.
I think Bush will have a much easier time pushing his agenda now. The fact that so much has shifted in his direction will not only give him greater direct legislative power, but it is a firm mandate and a surge of confidence from the people. The Democrats wil have to change now. Drudge and The Daily Rant both made it a point to show that Terry McAuliffe is getting embarrassed by the entire evening...Jeb Bush likely to win Florida, the likely loss of Mondale, and the GOP tide which threatens control of the government. Terry is either leaving, or changing things. The New Republic has put up a premptive "here's where they screwed up" memorial to the Democrats.
It'll be an interesting couple of days. I'm sure the Bushes are pretty happy.
