Ports deal will die

As I predicted in an earlier blog where I compared the ports management sale to the nomination of Harriet Meirs, Bush will back down. The main reason is now evident in the polls. This is not some slanted CBS poll where Democrats are asked whether or not Bush is evil, it is a Fox News poll. In that poll, 69% oppose letting the Arab country of Dubai take over the ports. Once Bush sees he has no chance to sustain a veto, he will cave and the only question now is when. My thought is he should do it as soon as possible and move to remove Homeland Security head Chertoff at the same time.
