If the GOP regains the Senate...
Republican control of the Senate might not be a bad idea as far as progressives are concerned. The voices of the Far Right (Limbaugh, Coulter, et.al) are just itching to blame failure in Iraq on the Democrats, and Democratic control of both houses provides them with that opening regardless of what course Bush decides -- whenever that'll be.
Republican control of the Senate might mute (somewhat) a potential Limbaugh rant about the Democrats being responsible for Bush's failure in Iraq. Meanwhile, a Democratic-controlled House will provide a firewall against any White House shenanigans in the next two years.
