If the democrats retain control of both houses, by any margin, and gain control of the White House in '08, you can kiss any chance of meaningful reform goodbye. It's a shame, really. We're going to hop from one-party control to one-party control, which sort of honks me off.

If only Bush and the G.O.P. hadn't covered themselves in quite so much ignominy, we wouldn't be facing this state of affairs. Why is a split government so hard to achieve these days?
