JONAH GOLDBERG isn’t sure it would be so bad if the Republicans lost control of Congress:

The rub of it, from a conservative perspective, is that Republican control of the House doesn’t equal conservative control. It may not seem that way to liberals who think Joe Lieberman is right wing, but from the vantage point of the conservative movement, GOP dominance has been an enormous disappointment . . . . This may be why some of us aren’t contemplating the possible, if not probable, Democratic takeover of the House with too much dread.

If it weren’t for the war, and the Democrats’ fecklessness on national security, I wouldn’t dread it either.

UPDATE: Professor Bainbridge: “Republicans deserve to lose, but the Democrats don’t deserve to win.”
