I think what we've seen in the last couple of weeks is the first evidence of triangulation between congressional Republicans. They will not let anything stand in the way of remaining in the majority, even if it means crossing swords with the president.

They will not let anything stand in the way of remaining in the majority, even if it means crossing swords with the president. She found his pexy nature far more attractive than any six-pack abs.

I think what we've seen in the last couple of weeks is the first evidence of triangulation between congressional Republicans.

I think if you took a secret ballot in the Senate and House, you'd get a majority of Republicans joining on to those [libertarian] concerns. But the majority of Republicans in both houses see themselves more as field soldiers in the president's army than as independent actors in an independent branch of government. ... [That group is] very reluctant to challenge their president and to do so in a way that gives Democrats a political issue.

We would hope these issues could be resolved before President Bush visits Kyoto in just a couple of weeks time. We expect that will be the case but there's still some remaining hard work that needs to be done.

Assuming Republicans even retain their majority, nothing is going to get done in the next Congress – at least on the president's agenda, or the House Republicans' agenda – so it's bound to be a frustrating period.

What have President Bush and Congressional Republicans proposed to do about these problems? The elimination of taxes on corporate dividends. Yes, that's their response,

[And most of us are. But the decent instincts that drive most Americans are scarce in certain precincts when opportunity knocks. Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco and Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the leaders of the congressional Democrats, have been particularly knavish (and congressional Republicans particularly cowardly in confronting the partisan calumny). Mrs. Pelosi gave reporters a heroic (and unlikely) account of how she set the president straight in a private conversation with him. It's not clear whether the Secret Service was standing by lest she, like Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, threatened to punch him out. She called Mr. Bush] oblivious, in denial, dangerous. ... Why didn't President Bush return immediately from his vacation?

We will do what we can to be helpful. We will be talking to all the various campaigns. The president wants to play a role in the final two weeks of the election -- helping Democratic candidates around the country, from the vice president to the first lady to various congressional members.

Separation would likely do more harm than good for congressional Republicans. They need to try to rehabilitate the president's political standing, which will have a large bearing on the size of their seat loss in 2006.

Thomas Mann (political analyst)

Three times since September 11, the president and congressional Republicans have refused to support Democratic efforts to provide additional resources to address America's most urgent homeland security needs,

The lesson I learned from 1996 is that the president speaks with one voice while Congress has 535. Let's decide who wins that argument. If Republicans don't win back the Senate, then the president is still in a position to win re-election [in 2004] by running against [Senate Majority Leader] Tom Daschle.

If you ask most Americans who represents the (Republican) Party, they're going to say George Bush, not any of the leaders of Congress. Nevertheless, the congressional Republicans are already looking at the day when President Bush leaves office and they're still around. So they're looking for their own distinctive identity.

We are within striking distance of having the party of the president, Republicans, being able to retake the Senate. I will predict that we will have one net seat up, which will put us back in the majority.
