democrats are not the democrats they once were when the WW2 generation grew up. they now stand for nothing (collectively). they operate on a spur of the moment "oppose whatever the president does and says". it is a joke (sorry democrats..i never said some of you weren't nice).\n\nanyways...the far left has taken over the democratic party. they don't even realize that some of the things they despise and protest were favored and exercised by many older democrats.\n\never hearthe phrase..i didn't leave the democratic party. the democratic party left me." ???

I sure hope so and lots of them!!! BUT I am really waiting for 2008 when we can replace the President and get our deficit back to zero, like it was when he took office, treat each and every american equally and include ALL income levels when deciding who needs help! The people who are the backbone of this great country are the working class and they are in the poverty level of income!!! We are the forgotten ones. So I appeal to ALL DEMOCRATS TO GET OUT AND VOTE ON NOV. 7TH OF THIS YEAR AND ESPECIALLY IN 2008!!!

EXTREMELY...I feel there is a silent majority out there. I'm a Centrist. The far left wing has attempted to make this election a referendum against George Bush. I will vote in a Referendum fashion. Yet my vote will be against the far left that has literally hijacked the once great Democratic party and I will vote Republican across the board. The silent majority will vote in droves stunning the far left despite the latest gallop polls. The Republicans will gain seats due to the far lefts extremists beliefs.

It is anybody's ballgame. This country is split down the middle when it comes to voters. No one is winning in a landslide next week. It will be interesting and no matter what the outcome, as a Republican I will respect the votes, win or loose. I do believe that Dem control of either house will hurt the Dem's in 08. To close a look at these people will not sit well with the majority of Americans, the fringe left will love it but they are a small % of the party.

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

Last time I checked the Democrats are not in charge. There is actually a balance now, before the republicans controlled everything and were "in charge."

I think the Dems are losing now and will continue to lose until they can come up with a way to define their party.  And until they can produce a good, strong, likable, trustworthy candidate.

Quite the contrary... The dems that were trotted out to run against the most liberal of the republicans were far closer to the center, more "conservative" tha the RINO's they ran against. The far left of the dems would not have been able to pull of the upsets that these moderates accomplished. I doubt you'll see major changes in taxes, Iraq, etc. right away. They know that that a lot of people did not vote for them for what they stood for, but just against what they perceived the republicans had become.. corrupt, immoral, big government, tax breaks for the rich & big business and war mongerers. The dems know if they screw it up, the republicans will be back!

You are correct but what are we going to do? We have a wonderful 2 party system--bad and worse. It has been that way forever and it isn't going to change.

It will still be Harry Reid of Nevada who led the Dems when they were in the minority.\n\nOnly now, he's the Majority Leader :)

Yes, they should be party centered. Why? Because as it is now. If Bill Gates wanted to be President he would be President. He has the money. Gates could spend 20 times the total of both Democrats and Republicans have spent to win any office.\nAs is it now Democrats represent the working class. Republicans represent the wealthy and the Corporations. It's pretty simple to decide which class you are.

What a win for us Democrats!  The Republicans financed Lieberman's win and now he will caucus with the Democrats!!!\n\nIt was a win/win situation for us. HA,HA.

I'm confused by your writing that "Republicans in Congress have their work cut out for them this fall". Is there some secret polling I'm not aware of that says Democrats are cruising along? Last I heard the Democrats in Congress were polling with LESS than 25% approval ratings.\n\nI think everyone is going to have a tough time this election season. And that's awesome.

How about E...f u c k the republicans and f u c k the democrats.  Hopefully some new party will emerge in that time that takes the baseline consevative look with a feel for liberal change.  All I know is I'm voting for S.B. Squarepants, Esq. again...he'd do a better job that any constituent backed monkey puppet that runs.
