If they are going to fall, they will before the election. A rescue issue is needed.
At least that's how I would play a wager.

This is wrong. You remember what the main issue was before the 2002 elections? The GOP forced the bill to "authorize" the Iraq war immediately before that election. They waited until the off year to actually launch the invasion.
This is because the actual war is ugly. People die in war. Things get screwed up during war. We have seen during the Iraq war that war is hell, and the GOP knew that it was. What sells is the combination of fear and the thought that the GOP is doing something about it.
