Saddam Verdict: A Parting Gift?

The politically beneficial timing is obvious. It allows last minute speechifications about how the US has finally brought "an evildoer" to "justice". Bush can call the what is surely to be a guilty verdict a success in the "war on terror", once again trying to tie it to the war in Iraq.
So will this one last electoral gift courtesy of the deposed dictator be enough to keep the GOP in power?
