How do feel about the sweeping victory by the Democrats yesterday ?

Great! Why people didn't see that the Republicans are slimy, underhanded bastards during the 2004 elections is beyond me.  Bush's approval rating is 41%.  And almost 75% of voters said in exit polls that "corruption" was the number 1 factor in their decision to vote Democratic rather than Republican.  Now I hope that the Dems can win the Senate as well.\n\nInteresting also how history repeats itself.  A quote from Thomas Jefferson:\n\n"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt......If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."\n--Thomas Jefferson, 1798, after the passage of the Sedition Act.

The Democrats used to be the ones with the huge voter drives, getting their people to the polls.  The Republicans have easily taken over the lead in this department.\n\nThis election will be fun to watch to see how the Democratic 'machine' responds.\n\nUmmm...I guess that means my answer is "I dunno".

I think Democrats are starting to get over the euphoria of their win and are realizing what actually happened. Voter samples show that voters were not really voting for the Democrats, but rather against the Republicans. What the voters have done is actually create a stalemate situation. This because while Democrats control the congress, the president controls veto power and the Democrats do not have the majority required to override. So while Democrats have indeed made the president a lame duck, they have also imposed the same on the congress. It does not have to be this way though. If Democrats reach across the aisle to craft bi-partisan legislation which benefits all Americans they can still accomplish many things. However, if they fall back on the liberal agenda nothing of substance will get done in government for the next 2 years. The biggest problem for Democrats is now they have the power and they must produce. Just calling the other side evil is not going to do it anymore. The Democrats say they wanted change for all Americans, the coming days, weeks, and months will show if they were honest, or if they just wanted power again and were willing to say whatever it took to get elected.

Well… I’ll be thoroughly depressed if the Dems don’t do it…. \nBut either way… I’ll still be thrilled to stop receiving truckloads of smear-campaign crap in my mailbox. I swear… as far as our local races go, you’d think they were campaigning for meanest school-yard bully. In fact, they ought to consider that next time around… at least then someone would actually deserve to win!\n\n\nedit:  Yippee! It's tomorrow... gosh that felt nice going to bed knowing the dems took the house then waking to find Rumsfeld resigned, then checking back later and seeing that lovely headline 'Dems take Senate'! Haven't smiled so much at the news in a loooooooooooong time... definitely a happy sueflower today =)

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!!
