I believe the Democrats will pick up 10 or so congressional seats and 1-2 senate seats.  Republicans will still control Congress but the Senate will be deadlocked 50 -50 making it difficult for Republicans to push their agenda through. Watch for all Republicans to distance themselves from the President who will go from lame duck to dead duck. Republicans will start harping on Iraq and Democrats will try to take the lead on fighting terrorism and the economy and will be criticizing Republicans for a record deficit, high oil prices, poor Iraqi and Iran policies, and corruption. The Presidential hopefuls will all be trying to balance themselves On the fence --- in other words, politics as usual

I hope not, bush's poor job approval& his stupid actions will make it easy for the Democrats to sweep the 2006 & 2008 elections! Watch how fast republicans try to distance themselves from him.

not necessarily,, but your mostly right,,, Democrats have taken power at a different time in American history; however, we made history,,, and with the technology we have now,, the Congress will be closely scrutinized,, their every move will be recorded,,, the crooks will quickly be thrown out,,, I hope Democrats will retain power forever,, or at least my lifetime,, because I truly believe they are on the most part,, the better direction for America

Hopefully, this past election has been a wake up call. Nevertheless, do not expect them to be accomodating to Democrats. At least not right away.

They are voted in by the majority party of the House.\nIf the Dems take the house. Pelosi will be the speaker of the House.

Being as much of a partisan hack as someone not old enough to vote can be, I was fairly jubilant after Tuesday.\n\nThe big question, however, is obviously what the Democrats do with their hard-won victory.  I wanted to see a Democratic Congress firstly because I believe that the balance of power was being eroded by an overly-compliant Hill, and I still believe that will happen.  And if the Democrats can stay away from corruption and infighting and deliver economic help, progressive policies, and an exit plan from Iraq, I think they'll be able to hold on to their majority for a while.  The truth is that, though divided, America as a whole tends to moderate itself far more than most people suspect.

With the Democrats in control it shouldn't take too long.....\n\nThey'll give amnesty to all illegal aliens\nand English will not become the official language.

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.

Woooo very good question. I think that the Dem. Party will win next.  but who knows.  not many people are happy with him (bush). even the guys over seas think we should pull out.

I don't think a thing will change, except maybe the Dems will stop b@#ching so much and the Reps will start.

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

No matter what happens republicans won't be able to blindly follow President Bush anymore as democrats are going to gain at least a dozen house seats, four senate seats and a half dozen governors. \n\nThat said it is likely that Democrats will gain at least 18 seats in the house and control the house. There is a more or less 50/50 chance of them gaining the senate. \n\nBut who can say for certain what will happen?\n\nEither way it is a victory for the democrats. The question is how large of a victory?

It will happen near the mid term elections in November. \nThe Bush administration can not afford to lose the House of Representatives. Let's see if this ploy works.

THEY CAN"T their are 2 independent victories\nand 49 Republican seats so the best Democrats can do is 49\nWhich I think they will get.
