Why else would Rove be so sure that the Republicans would hold on to Congress when everyone else knew that wouldn't happen?
They had been operating for years under the assumption that weak-on-security Democrats could never win. It never occurred to Republicans that Democrats stood more with the people on the issues, including security. There was no room in the right-wing brain to consider a Dem victory in '06. They figured they'd be like Clinton in '98.
