What should have happened.
Boortz brought up some good points on his site today:

BUSH YELLING HIMSELF HOARSE?
We're reading all over the place how very, very hard George Bush is working to save the Republican Party in next week's midterm election. If you believe the polls, and the very excited media, it is all too little, to late.
If Bush wanted to save this Republican majority for the house he should have started working a long time ago on the project. Here are just a few of the things he could have done ....
After declaring that the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act was probably unconstitutional, he could have gone ahead and vetoed it!
While we're at it, how about a few vetoes of some of the Republican's spending bills?
He could have informed the nation that the average senior citizen spends less than two bucks a day on prescription medicines, and that he has decided against the idea of pushing for the biggest entitlement program since Medicare.
He could have done something about the Mexican invasion. Isn't protecting our borders from an invasion one of the primary responsibilities of our federal government and our chief executive? You don't have to come across the border with guns blazing for it to be an invasion. It should have been stopped. He didn't do it.
Bush could have recognized that decisions affecting the education of our children are best made at the local level, where people have more contact with and sway over elected officials, than at the federal level. He should have recognized this, but he didn't. Instead, he got together with Ted Kennedy to federalize education. Now local school boards and officials have little to do but implement decisions made at the federal level.
You get the picture ... this list goes on and one. Handle it over the past six years and you don't have to worry about your voter base staying home on election day.
