The unthinkable

Gone: The Senate—and any hope for confirmation of a Bush Supreme Court nominee who could be the fifth vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Gone: Hope for victory in Iraq and peace in the Middle East. What the Defeatocrats refuse to acknowledge is that the only correct formula there is peace through strength.

Gone: Any meaningful legislative initiatives over the next two lame-duck years, all of today’s pro forma happy talk notwithstanding. Welcome to gridlock, vetoes and higher taxes.

Just like that.

Prediction: Our enemies have been emboldened by this massive political defeat. Look for another attack on America like 9/11 very soon.
