I agree with Chuck that Political Christians are overrated, but the 
Republican Party and the Democratic Leadership Council still have one 
more ace up their sleeve: Hillary "Walking Eagle" Clinton.  Seeing 
polls on Election 2008 (!) at 
<http://www.pollingreport.com/2008.htm>, I conclude that "Walking 
Eagle" has a potential to do great damage unless Iraqi guerrillas, 
anti-war activists here, and anti-war activists and power elites 
abroad manage to motivate Washington to cut losses in Iraq and call 
it quits by 2007.
