Given the implications, both personally and for his agenda, of losing just one house, much less both, this is a shocker. That means, by implication, that he never considers anything but the most optimistic outcome. Actually, in this case, I think they did plan for the worse case scenario.......the replacement of Rumsfeld with Gates is pretty good indication of that. In fact, I am surprised how quickly they moved. They really didn't have any plan but the rose petal and oil paying for the war in Iraq. They really did think, no, believed, that the Middle East would fall like dominos. Unfortunately, with Iraq, it is true. It goes to show you where their priorities are.
