from WaPo's SLATE's news summary:
The [Washinton] Post fronts an analysis looking at how a Democratic
[Party] victory in the midterm congressional elections would affect Bush's governance. It seems that his only option would be to adopt the sort of bipartisanship he promised before being elected in 2000, and that Arnold Schwarzenegger has successfully used in California.
Bush's wishful-thinking model of policy-planning appears not to be
exclusive to the Iraq war, according to the Post, which buries this detail deep down in the story: "Bush has been preparing his post-election agenda in a series of meetings, sitting down one-on-one with nine members of his Cabinet in the past month to review ideas. Bush insists that the sessions not consider a victory by Democrats, participants said."
On the op-ed page, the Post's Harold Meyerson offers a look at what
the Democrats themselves might do if they win the House, including "raising the minimum wage, repealing the Medicare legislation that forbids the government from negotiating with drug companies for lower prices, replenishing student loan programs, funding stem cell research and implementing those recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission that have thus far languished."< -- Jim Devine / "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." -- Nuremberg Tribunal
