According to a [UPI story today](http://www.gopusa.com/news/2006/november/1103_gop_victory.shtml), the Bush White House predicts that the GOP will shock the world and hold on to majorities in the House and Senate come Tuesday.

Keep that prediction in mind when assessing similar predictions about our inevitable victory in Iraq as long as we resist the temptation to “cut and run.”
