However, his willingness to stick to his principles on national security has suddenly given Republican voters another reason to vote for him (support of the Coburn amendment would be the other). He's still unlikely to win the nomination, but now he's more of a longshot than a no-shot.

Senate Republicans have been a bunch of wavering ninnies, House Republicans have been bit-champing neanderthal reactionaries, and Bush has been... well, frankly, an almost complete disaster. If Republicans lose in 2006 it'll be because the entire party is either incompetent or wicked. (I will grant exceptions to a few, namely folks like McCain, Graham, and Hatch who are generally quite sensible.) I can’t see why we can’t blame a Republican loss on BOTH Congress and the President.
