how convenient the timing of various events has been for bush:
1. north korea's test of chinese nukes: this can scare people into voting for the republicans
2. the sentencing of mr. saddam hussein: this shows that the republicans actually did something
it's hard to believe that these are mere coincidences.
as the country goes to the polls, all the pundits are suggesting that the republicans will lose the house and possibly the senate, and a number of governorships.
i am hoping that a bunch of non-proliferation ayatollahs come in and wreck the indo-american nuclear deal. that would mean a last-minute reprieve from utter disaster.

What a bunch of intelligent, super-patriot lot this family. His wife runs a school for spastic children in Delhi. His father - late Mr H D Shourie was the founder of Common Cause and was working for a public cause when he passed away at the age 91; his sister Nalini Singh has produced the best programs ever shown on Doordarshan and his brother Deepak Shourie is the head honcho for the Discovery Channel in India. Talk about a super-achiever family!!!
Alas - all this will be lost to the deaf ears of the Afzal Guru-hugging Indian intelligentsia and the cotton-stuffed brains of the general public back home
I am not pro-Bush, but i am definitely pro-republican. And i have reasons for that.
So i was dissappointed with conservatives loosing the House and if Virgina/Montana go the trend, even the Senate.
The mainstream media did them in. Also a bunch of corrupt leaders and Mark Foleys did not help.
Here's something off the topic though...about Gujarat..
I have a simple thumb rule about Indian english media [Times of India, Indian Express,NDTV et al] .. if they dislike or damn something, that must be good ...
The media has been relentless in it's onslaught of Modi and Gujarat for last five years. So vicious has been the campaign against Modi that it can put the worst days of Indira Gandhi to shame...
But inspite of all the negativity Gujarat is not only surviving, it's galloping way past others... Our [alleged] PM screams from the roof tops that India is growing at 7%... well guess what? Gujarat is growing at 16% .... I have been observing Gujarat related news for last few years.. Modi is silently achieving a whole lot of things behind the blanket negative campaign...
if Modi is not bumped off either by "secularists" or "terrorists" for another 3-4 years, Modi will have changed face of Gujarat like no one before...
Gujarat
