As bad as this is (if we indeed lose), there are still some moderate Republicans in Congress who will not stand for anything completely atrocious (remember how badly the "Club for Growth" wanted to get rid of Arlen Specter). Another one is my own Representative (Mike Castle). As much as I dislike him, he is not a wild-eyed right-winger. Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, the others who criticized Bush for a variety of things. They are not all in lock-step yet. We have rising stars (Obama and Edwards, I think; there's probably more).
And face it, the economy will be worse in four years. Eventually even "Kansas" will have to recognize that they need jobs, money, food, health care, retirement funds, etc.
I don't think any of OUR justices will retire under Bush; he can only replace the real righties and we still can prevent another Scalia/Thomas.
The thing I'm mainly worried about is the media, but we'll find a way.
