Joshua Micah Marshall and E.J. Dionne chime in on why the Republicans will pull out all the stops this coming election.

“As one outside adviser to the administration said, the danger of a Democratic takeover of at least one house of Congress looms large and would carry huge penalties for Bush. The administration fears “investigations of everything” by congressional committees, this adviser said, and the “possibility of a forced withdrawal from Iraq” through legislative action.”

From sabre rattling with Iran to take the attention off of the failures in Iraq, voter fraud, swift boating, and a steady dose of fear, fear, fear, expect it all this coming Fall. Will the press take the bait? I know, stupid question.
