Gains? Those don't seem likely; Zarqawi will be forgotten in a week, and despite CA-50, the polls still look awful for the Reps.

But Greider's an excitable guy - quick to perceive a crisis of any kind. If it isn't Deflation! it's Legitimation Crisis! I don't know that people are totally on board with the reigning economic ideology but they're either resigned to it or don't think much about these things at all.
