Prediction: George W Bush won’t veto the bad bills coming out of the Democrat congress congress.
Why do I say this? Because I looked back to 2000-2002 when the Senate was in the hands of the democrats. Bush wants to be liked by the left and the media. He tried to win their favor with such abominations as McCain-Feingold, No Child Left Behind, and the prescription drug benefit.
All the Democrats need to do is pass a few bills “for the children” and our spineless president will sign them. There will be no veto of the minimum wage, no veto of increased NCLB funding/regulation, no veto of increased campaign finance restrictions.
The Era of Big Government isn’t over, and all those who voted Democrat in hope that a split government will hold the line is a fool.
Oh, and if you’re looking for proof on how easy Bush will cave to Democrat demands (either right or wrong) look how long it took before he sacked Rummy.

Chris,
I fear that what you say is true. I also think that Bush is so focused on the War in Iraq that he doesn’t care what happens in the Congress.
Conservatives who either stayed home or voted Democratic are going to be saying “what have we done” very soon.
