If Democrats win back the Congress in the 2006 midterm elections, they could make President Bush's last two years in office so miserable it would be impossible for any Republican to win the 2008 presidential election - thus ensuring that Hillary Clinton becomes president.
So says Dick Morris, the only political strategist to engineer a successful presidential reelection campaign for Democrats since the days of FDR.
If the GOP doesn't reconnect with the American people on key issues like border enforcement, "they will lose the House and they will lose the Senate," Morris told ABC Radio's Sean Hannity on Thursday.
He warns: "The Democrats will use that control to so harass Bush, with investigations, censures, subpoenas and maybe even impeachment, you may find that in 2008 the Republican Party doesn't have a chance."
With Mrs. Clinton using her fundraising juggernaut to sew up the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, Morris' prediction means that the former first lady would become president by default.
The former Clinton strategist says Capitol Hill Republicans have one last chance to save themselves and rescue the nation from a 2008 presidential debacle.
"The next hundred days when those guys are in session is their last opportunity to control the elections of '06 and '08," said Morris.
