Not good for McCain/Palin, but superb for the GOP. They've extracted at least a trillion dollars more from the Treasury, to be disbursed -- without serous accounting -- by their appointed agents, have assured that the (probable) upcoming Democratic Administration & Congress will be able to accomplish practically nothing obviously-beneficial to the people, and have set the scene for a big Republican Re-Assumption of Power in four (or possibly eight) years. That Regime may well persist for most of the remainder of this century.
