50% is not a majority, 51% is.  More than on race is close enough to trigger mandatory recounts.  The is NO race in the country were OFFICIAL results are in.  Provisional ballots (which are not in the unofficial counts) and some absentee ballots have not been counted yet.  This is not to say the preliminary returns on wrong.  I simply mean your statement (and you did not ask a question) is based on incomplete information.\n\nBTW,  the House has SOLE authority to impeach.  The Senate acts as the jury at trial.  Impeachment is the indictment.

EXTREMELY...I feel there is a silent majority out there. I'm a Centrist. The far left wing has attempted to make this election a referendum against George Bush. I will vote in a Referendum fashion. Yet my vote will be against the far left that has literally hijacked the once great Democratic party and I will vote Republican across the board. The silent majority will vote in droves stunning the far left despite the latest gallop polls. The Republicans will gain seats due to the far lefts extremists beliefs.

I'm happy. The Republican controlled Congress was a rubber stamp for Bush and that breaks the balance of power that there should be in a democracy. Now with a Democrat controlled House and Senate he is going to negotiate and not going to be able to do anything he wants.

Democrats, by 7,200 votes. Just happened. :)

Last time I checked the Democrats are not in charge. There is actually a balance now, before the republicans controlled everything and were "in charge."

Very happy, if we also win the Senate, I'll be elated...\nHey Bush,"Do you hear us now!?"

I am a Republican and I get it.  The people have spoken and democracy is the name of the game.  Not to take away from the Democrats' victories or anything, but I am afraid that people voted for "anything but the same ol' same ol'."  I still have yet to hear what the "new direction" is that the Democrats are planning to lead us in.  Quite frankly, I don't think the Republicans had a plan and I don't think the Democrats have a plan.  The Democrats now have control of the House back after 12 years.  It's a cycle, it always happens that way.  I am not one of those whining Republicans.  My congratulations to the winners all around!!

The Democrats broke the Bush Dictatorship, took control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is still in question. Bush will have to be responsible for his actions now. Democracy still works with the Constitution.

What a win for us Democrats!  The Republicans financed Lieberman's win and now he will caucus with the Democrats!!!\n\nIt was a win/win situation for us. HA,HA.

Well, more republicans voted than democrats in the last election, doesn't necessarily mean there are more.  Just more that actually care about who is in office.

I'm confused by your writing that "Republicans in Congress have their work cut out for them this fall". Is there some secret polling I'm not aware of that says Democrats are cruising along? Last I heard the Democrats in Congress were polling with LESS than 25% approval ratings.\n\nI think everyone is going to have a tough time this election season. And that's awesome.

the Democratic Party today is the home to Howard "yeehaww!!!!!!!!!!!" Dean, Michael "Bush is a fictitious President" and Bill "I did not have sex with that woman...Miss Lewinsky" Clinton" I think Repubs are in a very good spot to keep our majority

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.

The dems won a majority, not unanimously.\n\nNote to "Oh Yea":\nThis is not a democracy.  It is a representative republic (and only, according to Ben Franklin, "if you can keep it"). The ruling of the majority vote in a true democracy is equivalent to two wolves and one sheep taking a popular vote as to what is for dinner.  We are a nation of constitutional law which must be maintained no matter what the popular opinion is.
