From what I can see, all hell is breaking loose amongst the GOP - the ostensible reason is NAMBLA Foley, but the true underlying cause is fear - the Rethugs are scared shitless that they're going to get their asses kicked next month, and they're only-too-willing to throw each other under the bus to sacrifice their own swollen asses.
If the Rethugs maintain control of Congress, it will be by a slim margin. Those Rethugs that remain will look for someone to blame for their decimation, and a way to stop the bleeding - and they'll turn to The Smirk. It will likely lead to an unholy impeachment alliance of remaining Rethugs and the small group in Congress who are actual Democrats.
By contrast, the flaming triangulators that comprise the majority of Congressional "Democrats", will be The Smirk's only chance at keeping from following Nixon's exit strategy: impeachment is too extreme for this crew - perhaps they'll ban the torture of children who are US citizens or execute some similar affront to The Smirk.
If the Rethugs lose big enough, there may be enough "Democrats" to save The Smirk. However, if the Republicans are able to maintain roughly 50% of the Congress, The Smirk will be history.
