By not supporting the Detroit 3 bridge loan, Republicans have launched the party into the wilderness in the midwest. It is a no-win strategy under any scenario.
1. Auto Loan bill passes with slim majority - Pres. Bush has no option but to sign. The Democrats win this round.
2. Auto Loan bill fails - GM & Chrysler declare bankruptcy before Pres. Obama is sworn in. Dow falls to 6500. Democrats win again.
3. Auto Loan bill fails now - Auto Loan bill passes in the Obama Congress. Democrats win again.
4. If scenario 3 occurs and by 2010 elections, the Detroit 3 as well as the economy has recovered. Watch election ads excoriating Republicans for not helping American jobs. They shall be called the "party of wall-streeters", in the pocket of AIG etc. Democrats win yet again.
5. If scenario 3 occurs and Detroit 3 is still in trouble, the delay shall be blamed for the dire straits. Democrats win again.
