Which one is my crucial, winning the senate or winning the house?

They're both very important.  When a bill is brought to Congress, it first must be brought through the House.  If it is approved by the House, it is passed up to the Senate for approval and then the President ultimately has the power to veto it.  If either the House or the Senate is balanced in a certain direction by either a majority of Democrats or Republicans, it determines greatly what type of bills get passed and turned down.

I am hard working (a mason) and a Republican.In fact I might even be able to benefit from Democrat control as my son is disabled and I am a single parent .I simply believe we should do our best to provide for ourselves and that this is a land of opportunity.I don't have money in the market but I want those that do to do well if they can then that means a better chance for me.\n Our economy is great employment is great I am at a loss as to what the new direction is.

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?

On a mayoral level, sure. On a senate level, best wishes. Talk congress and higher though? Even if you were as honest as they come you'd be consumed and eliminated by the 99% that aren't.

Is that a statistical question (i.e. are the Republicans going to lose?) or a normative one (should we be concerned if they do lose)? Anyway, check out the following website -- it tracks polls in house and senate and gives a day-by-day analysis of what each chamber will be:\nhttp://www.electoral-vote.com

Yes, we should follow the Republican lead and solve all of our international crisis through careful observation of cartoons.  You are very astute, you should run for the Senate.

Well I guess Alex B. set it all straight for us. Winning means establishing a "stable" government and then ditching them to finish what we started for us. Brilliant.

Dems will control the House, by about 5 seats.   Republicans the Senate by one or two seats.\n\nCheck my prediction on Wednesday.

I predict the Democrats will take back the House but the Senate is too close to call  and will probably end in court battles and recounts.  Gotta have some kinda excitment and drama with this election, right? hee hee

House. If only one.\nNot necessarily more power.  They just can just set the agenda better from the house.  Even though it may not get past the senate.

Here are links to both the House and Senate.  You can find the answer here:

Go to this website: http://news.yahoo.com/fc/US/Midterm_Elections_2006\nand click on your state.\n\nSociologists says that this election is more important than any election in the last 15 years.  Basically, you have the choice of taking away Republican rule of the house, or keeping the status quo.  There are probably a lot of local and state amendments that you will be reading.  I suggest you get on the bucket, pal, because it is probably a small book size.\n\nSuggestion.  If you really don't know the reason you are going to go vote tomorrow, I would suggest you refrain.  It's the people who don't know what they are voting for that tend to mess up what should be really done in this country.  Spend sometime online tonight, and if you are still baffled tomorrow, stay at home.

Of the two senate elections up for grabs, the Democrats are winning by a couple of thousand votes.\n\nAmerica fired the Republicans.

I agree about the Senate. There has been a clear shift to the Reps the last few days. I also think Lieberman will join the Rep caucus. House is also getting closer, but I still think that odds favor the Dems. I've only recently learned how many ex reps are running as Dems. I'm not sure what this means. I think we will be in for a very long night.

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.

You might want to take a look at who is in favor of what before you jump to conclusions.  Check your representatives' web pages on this issue.\n\nThe Republicans control the House that put out the stricter of the bills, for example.  It says nothing but protect the border and felonize illegal immigration.  The felony provision will drop out per the House majority leader, and I predict that some sort of path to citizenship will likely come in, but that is because of the Senate.

its pretty much over now but won't be certified till the 17th then the loser has the right to ask for a recount...so we may not know for sure who won till late December....however it is pretty much impossible to make up 6,000 or more votes...Webb has won Virginia...it would take a miracle for the republican incumbent to win in a recount...it is in the bag that the dems will control both the house and the senate
