WELL YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG TRACK RECORD OF BEING TOUGH ON NATIONAL SECURITY, WHICH THE DEMS NEVER HAD, AND SAYING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ECONOMY, WHICH IS BOOMING. THE DEMS DONT HAVE A CHANCE ON THAT ONE. THE DEMS WILL TELL YOU THE ECONOMY IS WEAK, WHICH WE ALL KNOW ISNT. IN 08 I BET EVERYTHING WILL BE GREAT AS TIME GOES ON, AND THE DEMS WILL SAY THEY WANT CHANGE, BUT CHANGE TO WHAT? FROM GREAT TO HORRIBLE? LMFAO!

It will depend a lot on who wins the next presidency. If a democrat wins, more than likely a lot of bills will be passed but if a republican wins in 2008, there will probably be a lot of stalemate and a lot of the use of line item veto or just veto power.\n\nPersonally I hope that foreign affairs will take a positive turn. With all of the turmoil in the middle east I hope the next president will be strong in foreign affairs and help build confidence back in the US, our allies and the UN.  \n\nThe economy I think has been terrible with this last presidency but I do feel it cannot all be blamed on the president or the republicans due to the fall of big corporations such as Enron, the stock market crashing, and 9/11.  I think it is very sad when college graduates are not able to find employment upon graduating. My husband and I both graduated within a year of each other and I luckily found a job, but my husband had to wait a year before he found his first professional job because the job market crashed. I laughed every time the president said the economy was good and jobs are up. If it is so good, then where are all these jobs? oh...in retail...where we do not qualify because we are over-educated....\n\n\nI feel if credit cards were not used in the US, we would be in a depression. In my hometown, bankruptcy and foreclosures are up 50%.  \n\nSomething needs to be done regardless if it is a democrat or republican president or democrat or republican controlled congress. I think a lot of people, especially young families are looking for a positive change.

i agree, but it's been a while since democrats have had control of congress. and don't forget they only control the house right now, it'll still be a while before all the votes for senate are counted and sorted out. here's to hoping for the senate!

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?

Being as much of a partisan hack as someone not old enough to vote can be, I was fairly jubilant after Tuesday.\n\nThe big question, however, is obviously what the Democrats do with their hard-won victory.  I wanted to see a Democratic Congress firstly because I believe that the balance of power was being eroded by an overly-compliant Hill, and I still believe that will happen.  And if the Democrats can stay away from corruption and infighting and deliver economic help, progressive policies, and an exit plan from Iraq, I think they'll be able to hold on to their majority for a while.  The truth is that, though divided, America as a whole tends to moderate itself far more than most people suspect.

It will happen near the mid term elections in November. \nThe Bush administration can not afford to lose the House of Representatives. Let's see if this ploy works.

Dems obviously want more seats to actually control the Senate! Controlling the Senate has many benefits, and could force both parties to work together.\n\nOn Nov. 7th, I think the Dems will win the house, and may fall 1-2 seats short on the Senate!

Not exactly, but that's as close a parallel as you can make with the Democrats sort of like the Laborites.\n\nYesterday's election would be a lot like a no confidence but bush will not do the gentlemanly thing and step down, the next election will be in 2008.

No because l really think Bush will actually do a better job with the Democrats in control of Congress. While he had no checks and balances there was no reason for him to actually do any real legislating. Now he has no choice but to work with congress without having a blank check that is stamped by congress. He can either work with congress or be a lame duck.

yes. they can win the panchayat elections in a better manner compared to assembly elections. b4 that they should execute most of their promises. they have already started with that process. so they will win.

That's true. From what I've seen, it looks like Republicans may keep a thin hold on the senate. So even if they have the house, neither side is going to make much progress in the next few years.

They won the election for the Democrats just as they won the election for Bush in '04.  In the next election candidates will need to cater to them.

Wes Clark has a better chance than Al Gore. Do you really think the Democrats would nominate someone who couldn't beat Bush the first time around? Gore has all the personality of a wet dishrag which is why he lost the first time. I really think the Democrats should try something different. Centerist might be nice.\n\nThe next Democrat champions chances rely heavily on the Democrats in Congress actions in the next two years. Democrats took back Congress because of Republican faux pas, not because of their great new ideas. Any Democrat who says they have been given a mandate by the public is delusional.

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?
