IMHO the people spoke loud and clear last Nov. The majority want the war to end either in so-called victory with the Iraqis controlling their country or to pull the troops out. I would imagine in 08 if we are still there, on the same course then there will be alot more republicans out of work.

Considering that the Dems already control Congress, I do not think Republicans will lose any more seats except maybe one or two. The Republicans Reps are in districts that favor Republicans. It will not be until after the Census in 2010 that the democrats would want to seek reapportionment of the districts.

However, the Presidential race is still much in the air. A change is needed in Iraq. But complete withdrawal and leaving Iraq the same way the US left Afghanistan, under different circumstances, will create different problems for the US in the ME. And with Dems in the House, I bet Sino-US relations will go south very fast under the leadership of Jim Webb, et al. That will be very bad for the US economy.
