No, and I will tell you why.
Bush, obviously is an idiot. That has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Puppet boy will do EXACTLY as he told. Right now, the GOP is going to be looking beyond Steven's conviction and election next week. They know he is a sitting duck and even if he manages to squeak by and win his seat, it isn't going to amount to much because the conviction and stigma is going to follow. Instead they are going to let the fallout occur, cross their fingers and pray to their Christian God that doesn't love anyone but fat white conservatives that he will win his seat and then lose it when the Dem Senate gives him the boot.
This will set up a special election that they are going to use to instill Palin in the Senate with and groom her for a 2012 debut.
