Congratulations to the Democrats. Yes, capturing Bin Laden is around the corner because both American and NATO troops have been relentlessly following him.

The reaction is just as many of us predicted. Al-Queda in Iraq is now claiming they are winning the war because of the democrat victory. Iran will now step up it's own rhetoric. People we are in for a bumpy ride. Are the democrats up for this challenge? Think of Murtha, Kerry, Clinton and Kennedy.....do they inspire trust with you in the realm of National Security?

The Democrat party has come back with Conservative Democrats as I am. Corruption of the GOP has ruined their chances for quite some time with the immoral values and scandals that will have to be sorted out to bring back any trust in them. That is why the bi-partisanship vote came out November 7th, and Congress is now majority Democrat. Ultimate power corrupts, and those you have named are the victimizers of the corruption.

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.

I have a tendency to think right now that the democrats are just flexing their new found muscles.The New York Times this morning was all talk about how the democrats were only in a hurry about getting the Iraqi war situation in hand and establishing a withdrawal date.\nPolitics are all about compromise,both party's do it all the time.Neither will get all of what they want,its a trade off.There were a lot of moderate Democrats that were elected,not all are of the "lets give away the farm"attitude.\nI keep saying that each side of this issue are getting in too big a hurry to claim victory.After all what have the pro illegals won,yet? Nothing,the anti war /anti Bush faction won.I personally will take a wait and see stance on this.\nTime will tell the whole story.In the mean time,I'm contacting my states government,and this nations government officials and letting them know my views on immigration.The fights not over,its only just started.\nNo to blanket amnesty,\nsecure our borders

I agree in general. You are right in that a lot of the newly elected individuals were moderate and hopefully the things which can and will be done will be more along the mainstream of what is necessary for our nation. I do think we need a new strategy with Iraq but we can not just leave. I just hope the traditional method of the democrats is not the norm. The Dems have historically felt that through taxation they could solve anything. So hopefully those in office will work in a bi partisan effort to solve the issues before them.

It still looks like we're going to take the House, and at the very least get a closer deficit in the Senate.\n\nIts about to get a lot harder for you Republicans to **** up the country like you have been doing.

Yes, he is indeed. He's the Democratic Congressman for Washington's 1st Congressional District and was first elected in 1998. As part of the "Mid Terms" his district will be up for election in November 2006.

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.
