How much farther are the Republicans going to fall?

They have lost the Senate too.  Yes, I think we should impeach Bush.\n\nhttp://www.impeachbush.org

I wouldn't point it to GOP voters as much as the Religious Right who are overwhelmingly GOP. They're trying to win over the people they lost by the simplest tactical means. Problem is, many GOP are smart enough to realize they're being dooped.

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

According to the mainstream media, the only indicator that matters is which party is in charge at the time.  If it is the Democrats then the economy could not be stronger.  If the Republicans are in charge then we are all doomed.

It's very close. An election doesn't mean squat.  It just shows that the people in power dissapointed their party.  \n\nIf liberals continue to show as much hate for religion as they do for much longer, I venture to say more people will become alienated  and will  vote republican.  84% are chistians, and sprinkle on the other relgions....

We need to keep republicans from dividing the country.

I think they have increased, Nancy Pelosi (I don't know how to spell her name) says she will not work with the Republicans and she can't wait to have a lame duck President. If she is the future of the Democratic party they are headed even further downhill then I thought. I did notice that the Democrat running for US Senate in Tn. is more of a Republican then a Democrat his only issue I saw that matches the Dem's is Universal health care plan.

I think we are voting for Do No Harm.  Once the Republicans loose power it will be harder for them to foul things up.  We will still have to fix the messes we have.

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!

Not very fun, I fear.\n\nThis election will, no doubt, be very "nasty and brutish" given the way trends have gone in the past several elections.\n\nThe democrats are full of hate for President Bush, and that seems to be pretty much their only platform point, so far.  That won't win the election for them, but it will keep the mud-slinging at a very high level.\n\nAnd the Republicans, sad to say, will no doubt sink right down into the same pig trough.

I really think we will see a virtual stalemate for the next 2 years and I do not believe it will be because of the Republicans. Many of the Democrat leadership are beholding to the far left, but many of the newly elected Democrats are much more moderate. Personally I think what you will see is a lot of Democrat infighting, especially if the remaining Republicans stand up for traditional conservative principles. The one area where I am very worried is on the illegal immigration front. I think there is a definite chance that they will try to pass the Kennedy/McCain immigration bill from the Senate. The stumbling block before was the House, but that block has been removed and if it makes it to the President' desk he will sign it because it is exactly what he has wanted all along.

Those are two reasons why republicans will lose. They don't care at all about the middle class, and they can't even win any wars.

There's already been a rift in the GOP, between the moderates and extreme right-wingnuts.  The latter of which, calling moderates "RINOS", for Republicans In Name Only.  The general insider scoop says this has backfired, as many alienated moderates swung towards Democrats.  \n\nAs for the Dems, it's been argued that had they stuck to a more liberal agenda in the first place, they'd have made stronger gains.  Instead, in the wake of 9-11, they became complacent and unwilling to challenge the President's stance lest they be labeled unpatriotic or "sympathetic to terrorists".  The rhetoric heaped on any possible form of dissent was incredible.  Some still survives to this day, though in wake of Bush's bungled record on Iraq, homeland security, and foreign relations, his critics have become more vocal.  \n\nMy gist is this -- moderate left can work, but so can "liberal left".  The sway of the pendulum indicates that after six years of ultra-conservative rule by the Bush administration, people are open to a new course.  Modest for now, but still tracking to the left.  Give it a couple more years.  This should be a good fireworks show........

I think they will not gain at all.  I think that they may trade a few seats here and there.  I believe that the party has no message or plan to "fix" all the things they complain about.  If they bring their "A" game they could win big, but not until they replace Howard Dean.
