And Donald Went Up The Hill Again

So, Donald Rumsfeld went up to Senate Armed Services with the generals in tow and they had a tough time of it. We've seen this before. Will it make any difference? Probably not, although John Abizaid's comments on the danger of civil war in Iraq were not helpful to the Republican cause. That said, I doubt that there is anyone who was going to be turned off by those comments who hadn't already been turned off, or decided for themselves something very similar to what the General said.

The Democrats, Clinton of NY to the fore, did an Ok job of shooting fish in a barrel but I'm not sure they made any particular ground. They did at least avoid the opportunity to screw up and/or go too far.

So, I think we're left where we were. With the likelyhood favouring a change of House majority by a very narrow margin. I'm still looking for two more real bad days for the GOP before I'm going predict a clear majority for the Dems or dismiss the possibility of a narrow GOP survival.
