Why Bush would back the port deal all the way to a veto.

Politics.

Imagine Congress nearly unanimously rejects the deal. Then Bush vetoes. Then Congress overrides.

Bush has "lost." But the GOP Congress has given themselves something to run on: security mindedness and independence from an unpopular president. The Dems would have a harder time beating up GOP candidates with the fact that they have been nothing but a rubber stamp for Junior.

What can we do about that?
