Regardless of whomever gets elected, they are going to be blamed for alot of the fallout from the war deficit. Taxes will have to be hiked to balance the budget while defense spending will be reduced, making alot of rich people unhappy, but it has to happen to stave off financial ruin. Sure enough if defense spending gets cut the Talkshow Warmongers will call whomever does it a big pansy and say they are exposing us to attack.
No matter what, whoever gets in will be unpopular going out.
