Yes, very good for america.  We need more voices besides the 2 from the do nothing parties.

I think he has a good chance, but it depends on how many Texans are willing to take that chance. But yes, by now everyone's sick of politicians making promises and not keeping them, they would be more apt to trust someone that just seems more honest. He seems like he means what he says.

He is the most promising politician in America, and eventually he is going to run for president. The case for running now It's just seems that it may not be the right time but then again it may be the best chance he will ever get. He needs at least a full Senate term before he is taken seriously but I think he should take his chances and run.

No. He came to office to enrich his sponsors (big corporations selling weapons and oil) and he is doing a great job.\n\nThe little guy just needed to be conned into voting for him..

Yes it is.  That is why we need viable third parties, to suck the air out of those windbags in politics.  The game of one-upmanship has taken the place of doing what's best for the people of this country.

Well, considering that he won his race by a reasonably comfortable margin (in a state that hasn't had a statewide Democratic official since 1992, I believe), I'd say he's definitely a quality challenger.  Whether he's a quality Senator remains, of course, to be seen, but I have the highest hopes for him.

Hell yes!  I think hes great depsite a few downfalls.  Hes human and I couldnt be happier!  Jeb/Rudy in 08'

I couldn't stop cheering last night! I think he's an awful person, in general, and he surely doesn't represent me or my values, so yes, I was quite happy he lost his job. In addition, I really like Bob Casey. His family is from my hometown, and they really are good people, so I feel like we got a double blessing. We ousted a total jerk, and elected not the lesser of 2 evils, but a really decent man who I think will work hard for us.\n\nI loved how huge the margin of victory was, too! 60%-40%

I'm all for Arnie - I think he has done a good job getting the spending under better control.  He has also been brave in taking on the state employees that in many cases (such as the prison guards) are way over paid and have rediculous benefits such as massive amounts of paid vacations and huge retirement packages.  I hope he gets re-elected!

Well, on the surface things look pretty bleak for Republicans. Historically speaking, this is no surprise. However, it is not as bad as it seems!\n\nHistory of mid-term elections: Any time the United States has been at war during a mid-term election, there has been a shift in power. The deaths from the war are never easy to take and as a whole, Americans do not have the stomach nor heart to endure continued losses, even for a good cause. This election's shift in power is no big surprise. However, there's a silver lining...\n\nSeveral of the gains made by Democrats were by conservative democrats. Joe Lieberman, a registered and caucased Dem, ran against his own party's nominee as an independant... and WON! Joe is a conservative Dem that supports the cause of fighting terror. So if the war in Iraq is the cause for the shift in power, why were conservatives elected? While a majority of Americans feel things are going wrong in Iraq, they still understand the reason we are there. We are NOT supporting the Dem's idea of passing the baton of victory to the terrorists, but instead, want to be open-minded that we need a new strategy that will better ensure victory.\n\nAnother gleeming hope for Republicans is the fact that referendums this election tend to favor conservatism. Several states banned same sex marriage. One state banned abortion. Basically, while there was a cry for change in power, a majority of Americans still cling to conservative views. \n\nWatch for Joe Lieberman to rally other Conservative Dems in the Senate. Should the VA seat fold to a Dem, the control they hoped for is still not locked. Joe and a handfull of Conservative Dems will still swing a good deal of power to the President on issues of the war on terrorism.\n\nAs far as Iraq goes, look for a change in strategy from the Bush admin. Bush will not cave to withdraw the troops totally but the Dems in the House will control the purse-strings, so Bush may make some concessions. With so much divide in Iraq amongst it's own people, there may be more talk of dividing Iraq. Keep in mind Iraq was actually three seperately governed territories until the fall of the Ottoman Empire after WW I; Vilayet of Mosul, Vilayet of Bagdad, & Vilayet of Basra. These could be carved out again, allowing the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites to have some sort of atonomy which may bring about peace.

that's a good little democrat.you continue to "care" and let everybody in because they have a "right"to all the wealth we have produced.

Joe Lieberman is a mere Opportunist.\n\nWhatever side of his bread is buttered he clings to that side. \n\nThe Republicans voted for him because they wanted the weakest Democrat in office that kisses Republican back side, and they got their wish.

I think that John Kerry would be a good President.  That being said, he does not appeal to a large majority of the country and he has to really consider whether he can win for the Democratic Party.  He could not win against George Bush, a fairly unpopular President.  Could he win against John McCain, a very popular Senator (even with Democrats)?  Maybe not, and he has to consider that and let someone else take the reins if he does not believe he can change his image outside of the Northeast.

He's a TRUE liberal leader.  All Dems should be like him and the country would benefit both socially and financially as awell as culturally and morally from someone like Feingold.  Feingold for Pres ALL THE WAY!

HECK YES!\n\nHe passes the AMERICAN TEST of POLITICS: Morals, Taxes, Defense, etc.\n\nOnly one problem with him (which I'm sure he would correct in a third term: IMMIGRATION).\n\nWith his illness kicking in though - we couldn't allow a fourth term.\n\nI love Nancy!\n\nAli Akbar

It'll never, ever happen.\n\nNeither of them can finance an election by themselves...they need the support of their parties... \n\nMcCain is never going to be the Republican nominee (the press wishes he was, which is why you might think he's a frontrunner, but the reality is, he has NO chance), and Lieberman has been abandoned by HIS party, the Democrats, because he correctly supports the war on terror.

I think Bush is a good president not a perfect one.  I believe he has faced more diversity than any President since FDR and we are still in good shape despite these difficulty's.  \n\nI believe that the biggest problem that he faces is that most democrats are using the difficulties as a way to divide real Americans and create a level of hostility so that they can achieve their true objective and make the US a socialist/communist and UN-Free nation.
