#4 Plus, if Bush is seen to be holding the line against the Tax-and-Spend crowd headed by Pelosi, with assistance from Repubs and Blue Dog Dems, he improves the chance for the Republicans in 2008. He cannot do a lot of initiatives now that the Dems control both Houses but he can play Dr. No with the veto. And that, combined with the latest series of Dem mishaps like Hastings for Intel Comittee, may be what pushs the Republicans over the line for control of the House in 2008.

#5 The convoluted way a budget is passed doesnt lend itself to any Donk monkey business. Any budget has to pass the Senate by 2/3s and that meant they need about nine Republicans to help them out. While they might get four I dont see a mass defection when it counts. I caveat all of this with the hope that we DO NOT have another weakling as a minority leader.

#6 Any budget has to pass the Senate by 2/3

Is that a law, or just a Congressional rule? If it's a law, that's one thing, but if a simple internal rule, then they can change it at a whim. One Congress cannot bind a later one, except through laws passes (or Constitutional amendments).
