Well again it's all personal bias. The thing I fear most is that Bush wins 60-40 because of national security concerns (because the voters find the D's foreign policy anti-American), and then takes that to mean he has a mandate to implement the conservative side of the culture war.

I think that, in a 50-50 world, Junior nominates another David Souter to the Supreme Court. That's what Bush Senior did. But in a 60-40 world, he has less fear of political repercussions and nominates someone Pat Robertson approves of.
