'Be careful what you wish for'
It's show time! Time for the Republican Party to deliver on decades of big promises to the true believers: Ban abortions! Renew family values! Win the drug war! Slash taxes! Just remember, guys, no more excuses about Democrats obstructing the GOP platform. Your bluff has been called.

Not even another stunning victory over Saddam Hussein will be sufficient to ensure reelection for Bush if the economy is in the doldrums, if the national debt accelerates and if the Christian right is again frustrated in its relentless quest to ban abortions.

The president and his party are now wholly responsible for stewardship of the American economy. Their fate two years from now will hang mostly on hard numbers: how many of us are unemployed and what remains of our 401Ks. Link here.
