The near certainty that the House of Representatives will be in Republican hands, and perhaps the Senate, too, means that America's Congress will pounce on any supposed attempt by Kerry to "sell out" Bush's war. So Kerry may put even more pressure on Europe to help out in Iraq than the unilateralist Bush ever did.
多数欧洲领袖对凯利当选后狭窄的活动空间心知肚明。共和党几乎肯定会在众议院选举中获胜，参议院也可能会成为他们的囊中之物，也就是说，凯利任何可能"出卖"布什战争的行为都会遭到美国国会的无情镇压。因此与奉行单边主义的布什相比，凯利可能会给欧洲施加更多的压力，以摆脱美国目前在伊拉克陷入的困境。
