Following a tumultuous summer of surging gas prices, war between Israel and Lebanon and more bad news from Iraq, Republicans returned from the August recess and watched President Bush’s approval numbers stabilize along with gas prices. National security dominated the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 and the weeks that followed. Despite grumbling from their conservative base, including activists who said the party needed the medicine of an electoral defeat, Republicans didn’t feel they were ailing. They looked forward to continued control of Congress.
“I don’t see the need for changes. We rise and fall with the president in this environment,” said Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee on the day before the Foley story broke. Davis said any significant loss would prompt an examination, but, “If we hold it together I don’t think you will see any change at all.”
Message: stay the course. My advice? These guys have learned nothing, and they won't change a thing if you leave them in place. Time to cut and run, folks.
