The plan remains a "permanent Republican majority" and there is no reason to believe that Rove intends to sit idly by over the next year and a quarter.

The "Checks and Balances" problem which Nixon succumbed to has been subdued. Everythin in the Senate takes 60 votes. Everything in the Supreme Court takes 5 Votes.

The majority is intact, and the plans to keep it that way are working quite nicely.

Hillary? Not a problem.

Off topic, but does anyone really believe that Rove is going to spend more time with the family? Maybe he's going to manage some other campaign? In Jan 09, Hillary will be sworn in as the first female US President and Obama will be her VP.
