Can the fractured, without-a-spokesman Democrats possibly win? Of course they can. Bush's approval ratings may have improved lately, but they're still way down. The ongoing dispute over immigration reform shows that Republicans don't always speak as one, and are even capable of defying a weakened president. Survey after survey has shown that Americans have had it with Iraq, and don't think it was worth it in the first place.

So yes the Democrats could win.

They could also lose. The Supreme Court's decision on Guantanamo, which liberals immediately applauded, in fact once again raised the issues that worked in the GOP's favor in 2002 and 2004: liberal judges make wrong decisions, Democrats are weak on national defense.

Will it be Johnny Nash in November ("I can see clearly now, the rain is gone"), or will the Democratic night become even longer and darker? Stay tuned.
