I hope the democrats at least win back the house in 06. How good are the odds?  It would put pressure on Bush.

There are a few close races, but frankly, all indicators point to the status quo (which means a Republican majority).  The caveat here is that between now and November is a political eternity...anything can happen.  I can provide links if you like.

I hope like heck the Democrats do not win, then.  You cannot negotiate with terrorists.  It's kill or be killed with those radicals, and I really hope we don't find this out the hard way.

I am a Democrat, and America is totally aware of how the Republicans come across in the World. Over 70% of America doesn't support them, and Congress gets voted in November of this year. The Republicans are going to be history, gone. George Bush could be indicted if the Congress is the Majority Democrat, and then impeached. I hope the World knows that America has more then one political party and will forgive us for what the Republicans have done in the last 6 years.

If the election was today, maybe.  It would probably be a pretty even split at this point, but the Democrats may have a slight edge today.  Politics, like the weather, changes every five minutes.  Republicans will reunite and place 100% of support behind their selection.  Democrats will fracture and split then end up with the "one that won, not the one we want" candidate.  We won't really know who is going to win until November 2008.  But this is gonna be a fun election.  There'll be more skeletons, scandals, mud slinging, and hate talk than any election before.  It's gonna be a wild ride and I plan on getting there early and getting a good seat.

The House must vote to impeach, and as of now the Republicans have a majority in the House- meaning no chance. The Democrats would have to win the House this November (this is 50-50 right now). Then, they would have to actually vote to impeach him. While I am sure some would vote to impeach, it would be pretty difficult to get all of them to vote for it. So all in all, the chances are pretty low, but not nil.

The GOP may run his brother. But after this drubbing, if the democrats can find a decent candidate, they should easily take the White House. That is if they can avoid shooting themselves in the foot like the GOP did in the last few months!

Perhaps with the open investigations they can put some pressure on the administration.  But, the reality is how much more pressure can be on them - they lost the entire election because of one thing - the WAR.\n\nStill not a lot to change Iraq, Iran and Syria will have more to do with that then the Dems..imo

*sigh* unfortunately it's most likely going to be more of the same old crap.  Just like the republicans were pretty much corrupted by all their power, the same will likely happen to the democrats.\n\nWell, that's assuming they're going to stay in power past the next election.  I guess we can all hope that we'll see some actual positive changes in the upcoming months.... but I'm not holding my breath.

Let's hope he does.\nLike the last time, he'll take a lot of the far-left liberal votes away from the Democrats.

I've already heard mention that some investigation of Bush's conduct in office will probably be instituted in the future. Right now the Dems are savoring their win and will proceed slowly at first. Don't look for too much rhetoric about this investigation until after the Dems take control in January. We still have two months of a lame duck Republican congress to endure.

My hope is that the Dems will push hard for impeachment THIS year.   I know they don't have the votes, but it would show them such utter fools --simply driven by Bush-hatred-- that they would suffer disastrously at the polls.\n\nOf course, the only way impeachment has the slightest chance is if the Democrats win back the House.  \n\nBut for such a move to gain the sort of traction it would need to succeed (much less for the Senate to actually vote to remove Bush) the American people (not just Democratic legislators) would have to go beyond disagreeing with specific Bush policies to actually believing he is guilty of one of the BOGUS charges you have listed here.   So long as people do NOT think Bush deliberately lied to go into Iraq, do not believe that he supports a "torture" policy, do not believe the NSA wiretap program is "domestic spying" or an unreasonable effort to protect Americans for terrorist plots -- in short, so long as the American people are reasonably SANE, impeachment has little chance, conviction has NONE.

I cerainly hope so. Tomorrow is the big day. And I hope the Republicans are defeated soundly. If there are some "turncoats", then they are the real patriots. Take America Back!!!!

It's ending right now. If the Democrats don't take a majority in both houses as predicted, they will certainly make gains. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way. Now all the Democrats need to do is nominate a strong presidential candidate who won't let himself (or herself) be defined by the Republicans.

Whoever the Democratic nominee is.  With the way things are going right now, there's almost NO way a Republcan will win...especially if they associate themselves with President Bush.
913836
yes. I'm so sick of Bush and the Republicans trying to "scare" us all the time with there bullshit. So what if our taxes may go up...life isn't about money its about...theres more to life then just money...and democrats will give us hope and hope is better then having a lying corrupt government.

The only thing that will change since the Dem's won their fight are domestic issues. They haven't a plan to get out of Iraq either. They are soft on illegal immigration, the Patriot Act, and abortion. Having Nancy Pelosi, a notorious San Francisco liberal, Speaker of the House, is a disaster for America.
