So the actual voting won't matter that much, then?

Dubya in a speech to a political fundraiser ($23 million) last night:

This is a very important dinner because, through your generosity, we're going to keep control of the Senate and the House, and America will be better off for it.

As it happens, the actual White House isn't really necessary either:

Bush spoke in front of a stage set of the east front of the White House, complete with fake lights in the windows. That produced the effect in still photographs of the president speaking in his driveway.

Are they keeping that set handy for the government-in-exile phase of his crashing presidency?
