摘要

The mid-term elections are seldom a cause for celebration in the White House. Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton all saw their parties take a hammering in the congressional elections half-way through their first terms. Not George Bush. That much-dismissed "accidental president" of a "50-50 nation" has pulled off the best result for a first-term president since FDR. Against the odds, not only did the Republicans strengthen their grip on the House; they also retook the Senate and seem to have restricted the Democrats to gathering a few new governorships. This is a considerable achievement. Senate and gubernatorial races tend to revolve around local issues and personalities. All the same, the president worked his jeans off for his party, campaigning in 15 states in six days. Despite a dithering economy and a plunging stockmarket, his own approval ratings remain extremely high-and they seem to have made all the difference in several tight races. Nor was the result just an inevitable act of loyalty to the chief in the wake of September 11th. Mr Bush has cannily out-manoeuvred his opponents, leaving the Democrats in a muddle over the economy and Iraq. The White House even-unusually-intervened to help select several of the winning Republican candidates: if the California Republicans had bothered to listen, they might even have won back the governorship of the Golden State.
