What do the Dems need to do to win the house back  in November?

They need to let the Republicans trip over a rock and hang themselves (just like they're doing right now) which means, they don't have to do anything on that front.\n\nOn a more positive front, they need strong ideas that hit the target of American mind and I mean punch the hell out of these ideas into the public consciousness.  No "this democrat thinks this, but THAT democrat thinks that"  Democrats need to stand together as a unified front using ideas that appeal to the public at large.  In other words, a populist stance that takes care of the common man, and not corporate cronyism ala Repukes.

DEMOCRATS.\n\nGo to Yahoo news. Democrats won control of the House, and now have control of the Senate. The Senate race from Virginia determined who won, a DEOMCRAT won the race, but they will have  are re-count later this month because he won by 7,000 votes.

I think you hit the nail on the head! There's enough conservative Democrats to really rock the boat.\n\nAlso, what's going to happen when they need Lieberman's vote??\n\nIs Pilosi going to say; We're sorry... I don't think so!

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.

i think a new party is in order. both parties have failed us. everytime one of them control a branch, it becomes corrupt and out of control. dems did it in the early 90's and lost the house, now reps are doing it and they will lose the house back to dems and the cycle will continue. \n\nwho can remember dems trying to solve the health care problem 12 years ago... and the rep promised to fix it and nothing has been done to it and that is one example.\n\nwe a need a new party with a slogan "America First!" who will reform the system from bottom up and work for the people not for corps.

Bottles.  The Republican party had many wins.   Not the landslide the Democrats predicted.  \n\nThey did not win enough power to keep our nation in gridlock for 2 years. \n\nThis is a win.

Mission accomplished if both parties work together to fix immigration, the war, wasteful spending, keep taxes lower, etc.\nThen a balance of power between the 2 parties will be good.  \nThe Dems did not like their absence of power and thwarted the GOP.  I hope they are happier now and more willing to compromise.

First the democrats need to win a majority of seats in the 2006 mid-term elections and remove all the members of congress that have been "rubber stamping" everything Bush has put in front of them.\n\nIn 2008, the strong candidates right now are:\nWesley Clark\nEvan Bayh\nRuss Feingold\nHilary Clinton\nMark R. Warner\nMark Pryor\nBarbara Boxer\nTom Daschle

Cause they lost. They have little control in the house and a big democrat vote this election, means big democrate trends and likelyhood of a democrat president. I'm actually a republicn, but their needs to be big changes, and I was all about a democraic vote.We've gone down hill, a change in domination of the hosue may help.

Sure.........how do you think the Democrats got back in control of Congress????

Win no matter what you have to do.\n\nLower taxes for the wealthy, burn more oil and blame somebody else. Same as it has been for the last 22 years.

They're still trying to bring it up for a vote. The bill will be on the ballot in November. I'd suggest voting Democrat tomorrow.

The Republicans control Congress, and the Democrats are spineless.\n\nMaybe the Dems will grow some balls after they win back the Congress in November.

Exactly, dems have blown it already with their relentless negativity and lack of realistic solutions to our problems. What they really need to do is excise their extremist faction so they can attract more swing voters. Unfortunately, the economy is damn good (hell, my unemployed roommate so a new F150 on credit). So they don't have that to fall back in.\n\nI want Dems like Roosevelt and Jack Kennedy. Not anti-American whiners who think nothing is winnable and run around like Chicken Little all day long.

Democrats would need to win control of Congress in the upcoming elections. If that doesn't happen you can forget about it. The Republicans would never let it happen.

Democrats will take the house.\n\nAs for the Senate, it could be a tie!
