Tetering On The Edge

Only two Republicans, Walter Jones of North Carolina and Wayne Gilcrest of Maryland, voted for the Democratic funding bill that President has promised to veto. Up until now, GOP support for the President as remain strong. Most admit they're willing to give him one last chance to get it right.

But happens if the surge doesn't work. if there is no progress by the Fall or when election season begins. Then what?

It is becoming widely known that the GOP in Congress is quickly losing patience with the White House. They are sticking with the President for the time being, but are obviously stuck between the desire to follow their leader, but their constiuents who are quickly turning against the war.

Loyalty to the White House will run out eventually.

Oh. and by the way, Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Missouri) who represents a very Republican district in Southeastern Missouri voted "present" on the Iraq war funding bill. Does anyone know why? Is she quietly going of the cliff?
