Senate to question Army on Walter Reed
The senate and the President are starting to look into failures in the veteran's administration. This topic could be a potential hot button when elections come up next year. The republicans can speak of their swift concern and action, and the democrats will be asking how this was allowed to happen. It will be harder for incumbent republicans to distance themselves from the President if this is brought up during their campaign.

This won't really affect upcoming elections...its more an indictment on the military than anything.
He's right. It probably won't affect the upcoming elections. There's too much other stuff on the political plate. Iraq, health care, the war on terror, the economy, fuel costs...etc. I would hope that this is still an issue in 2008 and that those responsible for it would be held responsible, but it has just about run its course in the news cycles for now.
