If democrats win in 08 will it be record number of democrats in office at one time?

No, I'll bet there were many in office in the Carter years. I remember those gas lines do you? Of course me and my sisters were hot teenagers and would walk up with 5 gallon jugs, to fill the family car. We had a family of 5 girls and 3 boys.

I cannot see the future, but I certainly hope so. There are no check in the system and with one party rule it is not good. With checks and balances come compromise and usually good legislation. I think that the legislation of the last 6 years is proof that it is not good for America to be a one party country.

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.

That's exactly what will happen. The Dem's. love to keep people dependent.

You will not be wrong. Have a little faith in the intelligence of the American people. They will do the right thing and vote for the Democrats.

The people spoke and put the democrats in, they have their work cut out for them trying to fix in 2years what took 6 years to create but yes the people will continue to be heard because simply put the democrats realize it is their chance to show the american people that they are listening else in 2008 a democratic candidate will have no chance.

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 hope so. but democrats don't want to impeach bush. they want to push him in the right direction for a change, though.

Not until Jan. when the Democrats take control.  Right now the Republicans are still in power.

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.

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, San Francisco).  About a year from now.\n\nDems win big in November.\nPelosi becomes Speaker of the House.\nDems and a few mod Reps impeach Bush and Cheney.\nPelosi is next in succession and takes office.\n\nThis scenario is COMPLETELY POSSIBLE.

not necessarily,, but your mostly right,,, Democrats have taken power at a different time in American history; however, we made history,,, and with the technology we have now,, the Congress will be closely scrutinized,, their every move will be recorded,,, the crooks will quickly be thrown out,,, I hope Democrats will retain power forever,, or at least my lifetime,, because I truly believe they are on the most part,, the better direction for America

Unlikey, in an average mid term year about 95% of all congressmen are re-elected. Any changes will be in extremely marginal districts and open districts.

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.

I don;t know if they will learn much...They have been this way for awhile. But now there can be a bit of a check and balance with the House...and hopefully in the Senate. Now the Dems. just have to get some stuff done and stick to what the have promised. The Presidential election in 08' has a lot riding on how the Dems do now. I love politics!!!
