The Dems are gonna win the House, what does everyone think?

It's a pendulum, the Republicans had control and unfortunately a lot of people are not happy with current events.  Time for a change (that sounds familiar). Not what I voted for.

I think the majority of the U.S. at the moment is republican. For '08 I can't see a democrat winning. If another disliked republican administration takes over than by '12 no doubt dems will hold the white house. Republicans will probably hold house + senate in '08 as well.

I think it will ultimately not be fatal that democrats won.\n\nI disagree with the rest of your  premise, however.  Our system has built in checks and balances, as well as regular elections.  It is unnecessary to seek to create an artificial balance.\n\nJust continue to vote your conscience.

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.

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.

The Republicans control Congress, and the Democrats are spineless.\n\nMaybe the Dems will grow some balls after they win back the Congress in November.

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.

Democrats are going to betray some one.  Will it be the New Democrats?\nOr will it be their commie welfare base?\nThis will be fun.\nBoth Iran and Al Qaeda say the Democrats owe them for helping them take over Congress.\nIllegals say the Democrats owe them.

I am hoping that it will be a democratic victory in November. It would provide for some checks and balances in our government that is lacking now. It would scare me more to give Bush two more years with a free hand. Just look at what he has done with the last 6 with a Repuglican majority.

Careful with your prediction! Many of the gains made by the Dems were from Conservative Dems such as Joe Lieberman. Even if the VA seat falls to a Dem, Joe is likely to rally other conservative Dems in support of the war against terrorism. I think this may be a much needed booster for the war... the vote indicates that we want change but by clinging to the conservative values albeit Dems, we're saying that change should not be a full scale retreat that hands over the victory to terrorists.

I really think that the terrorists are hoping for democrats to take over the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate.  The terrorists know that the dems are weak on defending this nation and that they will have a better opportunity of striking us again on U.S. soil.\n\nIt's a sad pathetic day when partisan rhetoric takes precedence over the best interests of our nation.

I believe the Democrats will pick up 10 or so congressional seats and 1-2 senate seats.  Republicans will still control Congress but the Senate will be deadlocked 50 -50 making it difficult for Republicans to push their agenda through. Watch for all Republicans to distance themselves from the President who will go from lame duck to dead duck. Republicans will start harping on Iraq and Democrats will try to take the lead on fighting terrorism and the economy and will be criticizing Republicans for a record deficit, high oil prices, poor Iraqi and Iran policies, and corruption. The Presidential hopefuls will all be trying to balance themselves On the fence --- in other words, politics as usual

Whoa!  Who said this is over and that the dems won???  Last that Fox is reporting they still need three seats in the Senate and 5 in the house.  Western states are still far from being fully reported.  Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

They are cruising (for pages) - maybe bruising. But I think they should win and will win tomorrow.  I'm not republican.  I want them to win so they do not blame Dems for 'war' or its solution.

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?

I am extremely disappointed that the democrats have taken control of the house & the Senate. I don't think that people realize what is about to happen in our country. War is always a nail in the coffin of the incumbent party. It has always been that way. You guys have no Idea what  you have done!!!!
