White House bracing for loss of Congress
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061023/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_losing_congress

Democratic victories essentially could block Bush's remaining agenda and usher in a period of intense partisan bickering over nearly every measure to come before Congress.

Loss of either chamber also could subject his administration to endless congressional inquiries and investigations.

The president and chief political strategist Karl Rove last week expressed renewed confidence of retaining both House and Senate; others are not so upbeat.

"All of our numbers look pretty bad and there's no question that there's a jet stream in our face," said House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.

3. Oh, with Democrats in charge, now it's to be labeled "partisan bickering"?
If there's anything people hate, it's bickering. It's a nasty word, denoting petty-mindedness.

Someone is deliberately framing the issue, here. x(
