Did Democrats WIN all, but The White House?

Actually you are going to break your arm patting them on the back.  The Republicans lost it, the Democrats did nothing and I don't expect them to do anything to be able to keep it before their two years are up.

Yes, in spite of the democrats.

No. Bush doesn't run the White House, Cheney and Rumsfeld run the White House. Our current president is easily manipulated by these right-wing hawks.\n\nFor more information, read "The Rise of the Vulcans" by James Mann. It describes in intricate detail about how all of these guys have been intertwined in Washington politics for the past 20-25 years.

I find most results of last Tuesday's election to say the least puzzling. I find it stranger still that since the democrats won, there were no lawsuits like the past elections.

They didn't. The Democratic party is the real big tent. The Republicans are the fakers.

Well the democrats SHOULD win...historically, the party out of power has sucess in the "lame duck election". If they don't win, they're doomed.

It's ending right now. If the Democrats don't take a majority in both houses as predicted, they will certainly make gains. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way. Now all the Democrats need to do is nominate a strong presidential candidate who won't let himself (or herself) be defined by the Republicans.

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

Democrats have said what they need to say for years in order to in.  Look at the history of this election going back over a year.  Using the media they berated the administration, every republican who failed, and the war.  Then in the last 30 days they found "God," lower taxes, support for the troops and got themselves elected.

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?

He is winning the Democrats over.   They trust him more than they do Harry Reid.\nThe Democrats are ready to surrender.

No, but Bush winning means there are several people who voted for him against their own beliefs and were fooled in to thinking it was for their beliefs.  It proves you can fool some people all of the time.

No Democrat-on the whole.\n\nTheir bill was foolish and a slap in our face.

Bush Administration is totally confused after losing the election to Democrats. Confusion sometimes is contagious. I guess it has transmitted to the employees from the government. People need to elect a better administration.

Before you knock the Democrats too hard, let's check some of the track records.\n\nWho was President during WWI? A Democrat. Which we helped win, by the way. Who were the Presidents in the era between WWI and the Great Depression, during the Roaring Twenties, the Al Capone/John Dillinger/Bonnie and Clyde era? Republicans. Who got us out of the Great Depression, got the country to working again? A Democrat. \n\nWho was President during WWII? A Democrat. A very strong, intelligent man. Truman was President when the Korean War started, but a Republican pulled us out of it without finishing it. Just kinda tucked our tails between our legs and left. Who was President for both Iraqi messes? A Bush. \n\nGranted Dems were in office during the Vietnam mess.  And Ike was still in office when we first got involved in it--1960.  Look it up.  And who pulled us out of Vietnam, leaving the people who had helped us hanging out to dry, holding the bag? A Republican.\n\nWho didn't want to bother with the Space program until the Russians got Sputnik up there? A Republican. Who backed the Russians down during the Cuban missile crisis? A Democrat. Who promised a man on the moon by the end of the 60's? (Which we did, by the way, with a Democrat in office). A Democrat.\n\nWho had a surplus in our budget, the highest ever? A Democrat. Who has the biggest deficit in our budget ever? A Republican.\n\nLooks to me like the Democrats have a much better follow through record than the Republicans.\n\nAs far as this illegal immigrant thing is concerned, there are people on both sides of the aisle who want to just give them instant citizenship because it will win votes for their party.\n\nI think we need to let BOTH parties know that we're not going to have that.  No other country in the world has such a lenient attitude toward illegals.  We NEED to toughen up, not only on the illegals themselves, but the corporations that make the whole sad situation possible.  Especially them.

I've been Liberal all my life and really want to see the Democrats take back both the House and Senate as well as the Presidency. However, unless the Democrats get their acts together and move closer to the middle they are destined to be a minority party and looking at another Republican in the White House in 08.  In answer to your question, NO, I do not believe Hilary can win, not because of her sex, but because she, in my opinion, is one of the problems with the Democratic Party. As of now, I think Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia would be a good bet and a great candidate to take the White House back.

The GOP may run his brother. But after this drubbing, if the democrats can find a decent candidate, they should easily take the White House. That is if they can avoid shooting themselves in the foot like the GOP did in the last few months!
