The Democrats will continue to try to make Enron into a political scandal, accusing the Bush administration of being "too cozy" with "big business", as if "big business" was some entity that landed from Mars after WWII and has oppressed "the little guy" ever since. This stale concept is aided from time to time by such as Bill O'Reilly, making a fool of himself on FOX by crying about his lost investment and blaming everyone but himself (thus learning how easy it is for the intellectually lazy to play the Victim Game).

But the Enron matter is, at the end of the day, just a cops and robbers story, and as the investigations and trials drag on, the public will quickly get eye-glazed out and turn their attention to simpler matters.

It all plays well with the Dems base-about 20% of the public-that they have bamboozled into thinking that socialism will save the nation from-well-from the 80% of the public that is smarter and more successful than the Democrat's base. Whatever traction they can get from screaming at the senile that Bush wants to kill off Social Security payments, or the illiterate that they got "disenfranchised" in 2000, will mobilized votes for Democratic Congressional candidates in 2002. But with a more politically-capable Republican effort than was ever possible in the old Dole/Lott days, it won't be nearly enough...
