   [1]This should be interesting:

     Air Force General Michael V. Hayden, who as Principal Deputy
     Director of National Intelligence has been a visible and aggressive
     defender of the administration's controversial eavesdropping
     program. His nomination is sure to reignite the battle over the
     program on Capitol Hill, where one House Democrat promises "a
     partisan food fight" during the confirmation process.

   Ever notice whenever the two parties have this fight, the Democrats
   almost always lose, badly? These kind of highly visible debates
   generally serve to showcase the essential unseriousness of the
   immoderate left on national security. Watch for the polling split on
   this issue to widen in the GOP's favor. Karl Rove probably just wishes
   they could have held off till October, and you can bet Hillary will
   not be joining the Dean-Pelosi-Kennedy chorus.
   It will be an interesting trial-by-fire for newly minted Press
   Secretary Tony Snow, as well.
