Will the democrats take the Senate?

The Montana recounts are happening in Yellowstone County, which is where Billings is.  Beautiful city.  Anyway, the chances are excellent that we're going to take that.  I'm cautiously optimistic about Virginia, as that's been getting bluer and bluer, and current counts have Webb ahead.  But, dude, we took Missouri.  You can't get me down today, what with my frothy mix of a senator gone, and Missouri slowly redeeming itself in my eyes.

Whoa!  Who said this is over and that the dems won???  Last that Fox is reporting they still need three seats in the Senate and 5 in the house.  Western states are still far from being fully reported.  Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

THEY CAN"T their are 2 independent victories\nand 49 Republican seats so the best Democrats can do is 49\nWhich I think they will get.

Now that Allen has conceded, the new Senate will consist of 49 Republicans, 49 Democrats, and two independents who are expected to caucus with the Democrats.  This effectively gives the Dems control of the Senate.

Democrats will more than likely win control of the house. Republicans would have to win all of the toss up races to prevent it. \n\nSenate is way too close to call. The only state no poll is showing an advantage for is Virginia. Both democrats and republicans need this state to retain control.

Democrats. Vote for the Democrats.

The Democrats won't take back either the Senate or the House in the 2006 mid-term elections, and even if they did they would likely not try to impeach Bush despite his lengthy record of criminal acts.\n\nThe Democratic party is as complicit in the destruction of America as the Republicans.  It just happens that the Republicans have led the charge, and they've been successful because they've had a clear and aggressive strategy, whereas the Democrats are hapless idiots so terrified of offending anyone that they have abandoned all possibility of leadership.

i agree, but it's been a while since democrats have had control of congress. and don't forget they only control the house right now, it'll still be a while before all the votes for senate are counted and sorted out. here's to hoping for the senate!

Unfortunately not.\n\nThe democrats will push their agenda....\n\nBut guess what? Next electionthe american people can push back and vote in the other party. And if they refuse to represent "the people" we can vote them out too.  \n\nIts time for the government to represent the people again.

It's ending right now. If the Democrats don't take a majority in both houses as predicted, they will certainly make gains. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way. Now all the Democrats need to do is nominate a strong presidential candidate who won't let himself (or herself) be defined by the Republicans.

I don't know about the swamp, but I am pleased to see that she will indeed become the first woman to be Speaker of the House.  While I don't agree with all her views (then again I don't agree with all of anyone's views), I think she will help to bring a balance that it badly needed.\n\nAnd yes, I think the Democratic Party will take the Senate by one seat

Yes and No-- Yes because it is quite clear that the number of soon-to-be contested seats in the House and Senate races will be filled by many Democrats, thus bringing an end to GOP majority in either chamber.  No for the reason that George W. Bush IS and WILL BE our President for the next 2+ years, so it's not like their aspirations won't at least be acknowledged by those in the White House.  Bush's approval ratings aren't enough to gauge how many seats will "go blue" in November, so we'll all just have to wait and see...

The senate could go into a tie.\n\nIt is possible neither party will win!

I really think that the terrorists are hoping for democrats to take over the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate.  The terrorists know that the dems are weak on defending this nation and that they will have a better opportunity of striking us again on U.S. soil.\n\nIt's a sad pathetic day when partisan rhetoric takes precedence over the best interests of our nation.

I think it's possible, but not probable. They *will* lose seats, but probably not enough in either the House or Senate to lose the majority. Their problem will be in 2008 when they lose the Presidential election *and* the House or Senate.

Nope, and they won't, as long as they run morons like Kerry, Americans in general are very intelligent, and as long as the democrats, keep putting up  morons, without a smart agenda, they will continue to lose. but the real loser is America. As long as we have politictions that are more worried about their careers than what is good for America. We all lose.

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?
