I don’t necessarily agree, but I suspect this will become a common sentiment, from a reader:

After contemplating last night, I realized this is better than just barely holding onto the Senate and losing the house by a few seats. With that outcome President Bush could claim somewhat of a victory. Now he has lost all credibility.President Bush has no mandate to do anything. He can only tack right to at least maintain his base. Republicans are going to be in a cranky mood over the next 2 years. If President Bush thinks he can rub salt in our wounds be signing some sort of comprehensive immigration plan, they will be supporting John Conyers to impeach him. The type of loss we had last night was actually bad for his immigration policy. I do not think he can sign anything close to what he wanted without suffering the wrath of his base. He has lost all credibility. He has no mandate to do anything but to tack right. If he alienates us in anyway, he will lose all support.
