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.

Dems will control the House, by about 5 seats.   Republicans the Senate by one or two seats.\n\nCheck my prediction on Wednesday.

I am a Republican and I get it.  The people have spoken and democracy is the name of the game.  Not to take away from the Democrats' victories or anything, but I am afraid that people voted for "anything but the same ol' same ol'."  I still have yet to hear what the "new direction" is that the Democrats are planning to lead us in.  Quite frankly, I don't think the Republicans had a plan and I don't think the Democrats have a plan.  The Democrats now have control of the House back after 12 years.  It's a cycle, it always happens that way.  I am not one of those whining Republicans.  My congratulations to the winners all around!!

I think Nancy Pelosi has some great leadership skills and will help set  a direction for the Democrats. I am and Independent who dislikes both parties but voted for Democrats this time as it is a time for a change. Whether it will be positive remains to be seen. I have not heard of a specific direction and program agenda that they have. I do hope for the sake of the nation both parties can get us headed in the right direction. Enough of the scare tactics by Bush regarding national security. Lets actually see what can be done here not abroad to make use safer. I don't care whether Iraq stands up as a democracy or goes down the toilet. They will tear each other up based upon 2000 years of violent history and sectarian violence. Typical third world mentality. We should not abandon them but we do need to start withdrawing.

Subtle. Let me guess. President Bush, Republican Party. Dems win the next election! Don't bet on it!

If the republicans win this election, expect the economy to keep rising, more tax cuts, and no more terrorist attacks.\n\nIf the dems. win, expect higher taxes, and more attacks against us.

Hopefully, Sen. John McCain will run.  Not a Republican, but I truly believe this man can bring some integrity to Congress and the White House that has been so lacking during the Bush Adminstration.  It is high time to restore some semblance, order, and stability and a renewed confidence in the Constituiton and the Bill of Rights.

That's true. From what I've seen, it looks like Republicans may keep a thin hold on the senate. So even if they have the house, neither side is going to make much progress in the next few years.

Truth doesn't matter in this election. It is all about taking control of Congress. Pelosi represents the most far out Liberal section of our country. Look at what is legal in San Fransisco and you will see what is coming soon to you Congress

GOP...all of the way.\nI'm sick of these candy-ass whiny liberals. \nAnd no, I'm not going to hide like a wimp.

The Democrat party has come back with Conservative Democrats as I am. Corruption of the GOP has ruined their chances for quite some time with the immoral values and scandals that will have to be sorted out to bring back any trust in them. That is why the bi-partisanship vote came out November 7th, and Congress is now majority Democrat. Ultimate power corrupts, and those you have named are the victimizers of the corruption.

Democrat.  I believe in their values more than the republicans.  Also, republicans just whine about everything.  Also, Bush is the dumbest person on the face of the universe.  You could fit his library in a little corner.

It will depend a lot on who wins the next presidency. If a democrat wins, more than likely a lot of bills will be passed but if a republican wins in 2008, there will probably be a lot of stalemate and a lot of the use of line item veto or just veto power.\n\nPersonally I hope that foreign affairs will take a positive turn. With all of the turmoil in the middle east I hope the next president will be strong in foreign affairs and help build confidence back in the US, our allies and the UN.  \n\nThe economy I think has been terrible with this last presidency but I do feel it cannot all be blamed on the president or the republicans due to the fall of big corporations such as Enron, the stock market crashing, and 9/11.  I think it is very sad when college graduates are not able to find employment upon graduating. My husband and I both graduated within a year of each other and I luckily found a job, but my husband had to wait a year before he found his first professional job because the job market crashed. I laughed every time the president said the economy was good and jobs are up. If it is so good, then where are all these jobs? oh...in retail...where we do not qualify because we are over-educated....\n\n\nI feel if credit cards were not used in the US, we would be in a depression. In my hometown, bankruptcy and foreclosures are up 50%.  \n\nSomething needs to be done regardless if it is a democrat or republican president or democrat or republican controlled congress. I think a lot of people, especially young families are looking for a positive change.

i agree, but it's been a while since democrats have had control of congress. and don't forget they only control the house right now, it'll still be a while before all the votes for senate are counted and sorted out. here's to hoping for the senate!

Republican\n\nthe Democratic party has taken on too many "fringe" organizations and has alienated people who used to vote independently.\n\nIndependents can't raise the money needed
