Maybe some accountability? Maybe some moderation? Maybe some attention to the scientific and scholarly community rather than just corporations and their sponsored ideological think-tanks. (Not that those wont still be influential, just maybe not the only input.) Maybe some debate about important issues, now a bit more in play, less rubberstamping done deals with the WH.

I think change would be a relief to Bush. Then he can do what he must know needs to be done with/ in/ to Iraq, change course not stay the course, and have options to blame the other side if things get worse, yet still make a claim to leadership if things maintain or even (dare say) improve. It gives him some sympathy room.
