GOP Victory
There's some talk of how the Republicans might deserve to lose the House and that sometimes divided government results in leaner government (see VC here).
I can't say the GOP deserves to win, given its mistakes and misdirection on damn near everything. I can say, though, that a Democratic House would assume that dissatisfaction over Iraq propelled them to victory - and then proceed to block funding the President requests for Iraq reconstruction.
Failure in Iraq is dangerous to the region and the world. The Democrats' defunding of the reconstruction could virtually end the regime. With Islamists worldwide already beating the path to Iraq, a drawdown, pullout or defunding of the Iraqi democratic regime would incite them further.
Until Iraq can stand itself up, we have to be there to help. It's interesting that the same people who claimed in 2003 and 2004 that we need more and more and more allies in the War on Terror are trying to alienate our newest ally.
