theres a strong chance that in the next series of elections the power will shift to the side of the democrats and they'll move to do some impeaching. there really dont seem to be any great candidates on either side as of yet though, so who knows?

First, the reason you haven't heard one way or the other about a set democratic  plan is because it has been the strategy of the democrats to sit back and let Bush hang his party... so far this has worked. After all, they are not in control of any of the 3 branches of gov. so really, what can they do right now?\n\nAs far as a plan after they regain some authority, this is what I have heard:\n- For some reason, Bush didn't want nor ask for much international support in Iraq. I have a theory as to why he wanted to unilaterally control it but that is not an issue atm. Point is that democrats plan to begin to rebuild international support and try to bring in other nations for assistance in Iraq to get the burdern off of us solely and to get it resolved.\n- Howard Dean on PBS said today that the democratic party plans to target outsourcing in order to at least freeze the flux of jobs going overseas at an enormous rate. \n- He also mentioned healthcare stating that under Bush the number of insured has increased from 45 million to 48 million then stated they plan to work on that as a priority.\n- He also mentioned they plan to repeal the tax cuts for the rich that Bush awarded BUT, and this got my attention because I had not heard this, they intend on a NEW TAX CUT for the middle class.\n\nThose are a few things I recall off the top of my head. Hope that helps.

Very interesting point.  The only reason dems got control was because of the blue-dog conservative democrats who were elected this time around.  America hasn't gone less conservative...only less republican.  Now, the dem leadership isn't taking the hint.  Instead, they're reeling to the left once again.  Should be interesting.  I personally think it will open the door for a sweeping Repub victory in '08 - if they get back to their conservative roots.  Great point.

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.

Well now hear this from one old man lmao. \nAt one time the Democrats were for the working people, and the working people knew it.\nBut somewhere along the line they drifted off in a direction that leads them to not helping working class anymore but helping with the programs that only few can get.\nJust look at all there programs out there that the Democrats have make in all the past years and please tell me one that a working man or woman can get on.\nYes we need to help the poor but we do not need to have them lead us.\n\nSo I say the silent majority will win again, cause most of us are now Republicans.

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!!

I think the Democrats shot themselves in the foot long ago...back in 2000 when they became so entrenched in the "stolen election" argument.....They need to reinvent themselves.....big time.  Get back to their party values, if they have any.

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.

They will raise our taxes and spend money on new pork-barrel projects, just like Democrats have always done.  They will cut and run from the radical terrorists and expose us all to new terrorist attacks in America.  They will amend the Second Amendment of the Constitution and try to take away our rights to own firearms.  They will permit abortion on demand under all circumstances.  Read their websites and then read between the lines.  What they avoid telling you before election time is just as important as what they advertise.\n\nI see that "dakota29575" has his eye on the stock market, which has already gone down for the last 6 consecutive days, as it appears that the Democrats may gain control of the House or the Senate, and maybe both.  The Democrats won't TRY to take the market down.  It goes down in FEAR of Democrat control, and their "Tax and spend" policy, which creates inflation.
