I'm not sure it's safe to say.

I will vote because I always do, however, I am hoping that the next presidential election actually has some worthy selections.  I have been voting AGAINST people and not for people for the last 6 years.  And the only reason the Republicans keep winning is because the Democrats can't decide where they stand on everything.  Which is why we need more than two parties in this country!!

I'm with you. I've been a conservative Republican for about 20 years and I have now officially terminated my support and membership with the RNC. The Republican party has done nothing for me in the past 5 years. And the Democratic Party certainly has done nothing for me EVER!\n\nI'm voting Independent in 2008.\n\nIf you are a conservative I encourage you to look into the Constitution Party. http://www.constitutionparty.com/

We can sure hope so. It's starting off pretty good. Our Nation needs to support unity and good thinking. Time will tell.

Thats a good question...I think the Democrats have a really good chance of winning a lot of seats as long as they stick with it they should be able to win them. Republican candidates are trying to distance themselves from Bush as much as possible but I don't think it's going to work

I hope so. There are decent moderate people on both sides of the aisle. We've had to deal with the extremes (left and right) for too long. It'd be nice to have someone in the middle. Very few Americans are on the fringes like most of our choices have been lately.

The republican party is looking for issues that can carry them in the upcoming elections.\n\nIn 2000-2004, they struck a chord with gay marriages, and war on terrorism. But now, these issues are either non-issue, or infact, a drag on republican party - especially war on iraq.\n\nIn order to hold on to conservative, or near conservative vote bank, the next topic of interest is immigration. The fact is, illegal immigration and also legal immigration helps another bastion of republicans - industrialists, who want cheap labor.\n\nBut there are only so many rich industrialists, to a large population of white conservatives. Also, the appeal of immigration is also for many blacks/ hispanics, who are now naturalized, and dont want others like them to come in, and take away their jobs.\n\nThus, immigration is a good wedge point for republicans - get back the white conservatives, who may be drifting away becuase of Iraq, and also, get new voters - poorer blacks/ hispanics, who dont want more immigrants to come in.\n\nTherefore, suddenly every republican, and FOX news is talking about that immigration issue, while thousands continue to die in Iraq war, we continue to pollute the environment, we continue to run massive deficits, and the rich continue to get tax breaks, while the rest of america continues to loose essential services, and well paying jobs

The chances for the Republican party to win the next Presidential election are actually not very bad. Polls can be very misleading, because the only poll that matters is the one where everyone goes into the little booth to cast their ballots.\n\nLiberals like me are very good at complaining when we don't get our way, but when it comes time to put up or shut up far too many of us always seem to have something better to do. As a nation, it is shameful that we barely can get 50% to vote even when the highest office in the land is at stake.\n\nThe Republicans will be more likely to vote than the Democrats, no matter what anyone says right now.

Actually, Bush called the second election a 'clear mandate'.  So, no, I don't see it changing with HIM.  Hoewever, the GOP will hopefully be smarter in 08 when they realize that we still live in a democracy, and you better give us someone we want, or face another humiliating loss.  Just think, the GOP could have nominated Elizabeth Dole in 2000 instead of Bush...imagine how different things would be...

She has a good chance depending on who the Republican candidate will be.  The top Republican is John McCain of Arizona.  He is a former prisoner of war during Vietnam and has been trying to reform the Senate.

The best thing the democrats could do to help out the republicans would be to nominate Hilary Clinton for president.  In spite of what you've heard, Middle America is not going to vote for a socialist (it takes a village), alleged bi-sexual, woman for president.  The republican are good at one thing: winning elections. they know better than to nominate a black woman.  I see John McCain running (possibly with Rice as a running mate) and winning against Hilary.  The republicans are good at winning elections, and the democrats are good at making bold social statements and wondering why they can't win.

Better worry about the rest of American voters as well and not focus on a single group.  I hope the Republicans wise up and choose a moderate candidate who can win, instead of trying to sell a candidate who gats the biggest conservative base.  A candidate who can win, especially with congress once again in liberal hands, is much better than one who looks good, but only to conservatives.

There are a few close races, but frankly, all indicators point to the status quo (which means a Republican majority).  The caveat here is that between now and November is a political eternity...anything can happen.  I can provide links if you like.

Well as a conservative Republican I would like to congratulate you on your win.America has spoken and I was in the minority.I do not believe that it is the end of the world though it will be very interesting the next two years.

ABSOLUTELY! I totally agree. And now is the time that I think enough Republicans would turn away from Bush. Unfortunately, not a lot of people believe that THIS election could also change the tide and get some new policies in place. It's ALMOST as good as changing the president if we can change the House and Senate. EVERYONE needs to get out and vote next week. Vote for who you think is best, but consider your Democrat since that will help balance this lopsided power in D.C.!!!

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?
