The question is, could the govern?  The answer is no (and the GOP barely could by 1995).

Preparing for defeat already? Typical...

In this case, you have a very deeply divided Democratic party, especially on Iraq.  You have a GOP that is not as deeply divided.  House Democrats can become the bare majority party, and there are still probably enough votes for the war in Iraq (sizable part of the D's and most of the GOP).

It's not exactly a real winning situation for the Democrats; they probably have more to gain by increasing their minority status and not actually governing.
