I predict the Democrats will take back the House but the Senate is too close to call  and will probably end in court battles and recounts.  Gotta have some kinda excitment and drama with this election, right? hee hee

51% in House, 2/3rds in Senate, and Yes.\n-\n2/3rds vote in the Senate to Impeach will happen once the evidence gets aired on CSPAN during the trial.\n\nEvidence:\nhttp://impeachforpeace.org/evidence/\n\nAll we need is for a few Republican Congress members to realize that tying their political future to Bush reduces their chances of getting elected. Remember, one way or another, Bush is gone by 2009— but members of Congress may retain their offices beyond that date. Bush's poll numbers are extremely low, and most Americans support impeachment. This is a bipartisan movement. This means that if we make the pressure unbearable for Members of Congress, they'll turn on him to keep their own seats (like they did with Nixon). It's already starting to happen.\n\nAnd even if we only impeach on legitimate charges, and the Senate fails to do their duty.  It will only implicate the Senators who fail to do their sworn Constitutional duty.\n\nImpeach Bush Yourself:\nhttp://ImpeachForPeace.org/ImpeachNow.html

Unlikey, in an average mid term year about 95% of all congressmen are re-elected. Any changes will be in extremely marginal districts and open districts.

the republicans are not completely out of power.  they run the majority of government, just don't have the house and senate anymore.  bush still has huge amounts of power to appoint positions and veto anything that the congress tries to do. he also has a supreme court that will probably back him up.  \npelosi has an agenda but she is smart about what she can and can't do -- and leaving iraq isn't one of them.  "staying the course" is no longer an option though.  the way things are done will change fast -- things are changing fast already and she isn't even speaker of the house until january

*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.

Yes, but it won't happen with a repuglican congress unless it looks like they are going to be voted out because of it.

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.

I don't think so.  The democrats tried to but I believe the Republicans would not allow it.  Good job everyone who voted Repub.!!

The Republicans are keeping their distance from him, \nwith good reason.

Or is it simply history repeating itself ... \n the party controlling the White House nearly always loses House seats in midterm elections" — especially in the sixth year. \n In Franklin D. Roosevelt's sixth year in 1938, Democrats lost 71 seats in the House and six in the Senate. \n In Dwight Eisenhower's sixth year in 1958, Republicans lost 47 House seats, 13 in the Senate. \n In John F. Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson's sixth year, Democrats lost 47 seats in the House and three in the Senate. \n In Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford's sixth year in office in 1974, Republicans lost 43 House seats and three Senate seats. \n Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.\n  Clinton- Republicans picked up a total of 49 House seats and nine Senate seats in two midterm elections. When Clinton won the presidency in 1992, his party actually lost 10 seats in the House — only the second time in the 20th century that a party won the White House but lost seats in the House

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

The democrats should take congress but the republicans might take the senate unless they lose New Jersey and Tennesse. Last election Bush made gay marriage an issue and that might work again with the recent scandals involving congressman Foley and that minister that just resigned. It's down to if gay marriage is more of an issue than a continued dragging out of Iraq. Speaking of, I'm looking for Saddam's death sentence to be played up by Bush.Either way it's going to be a good race!\n\n\nVin

Your question presupposes that party affiliation demands loyalty to the party, not truth and justice.\n\nAnd if that's how the Republicans are operating, well that's just scary (but maybe I knew that already).

Not until Jan. when the Democrats take control.  Right now the Republicans are still in power.

They may keep the Senate -- but the House looks unlikely.\n\nHow will Republicans cry?\n\nDid you forget that the Republicans and Democrats were equal in their tenacity to control the counting of votes in Florida in 2000?  Stop trying to twist history.

Democrats will take over the House.\n\nRepublicans will keep control of the Senate, but not by legal means. Explanatory press releases have already been written explaining why results in some races were not as expected.

If the house now passes their version of the Kennedy / McCain immigration bill then it could happen.  What I don't know is if the new senate has to vote on it again.
