Bush was already a "lame duck".  The definition of such is as follows:\n\nAn elected officeholder whose term of office has not yet expired but who has failed to be re-elected or is ineligible and therefore cannot garner much political support for initiatives.\n\nNow there is simply no question about it.

I believe the Democrats will pick up 10 or so congressional seats and 1-2 senate seats.  Republicans will still control Congress but the Senate will be deadlocked 50 -50 making it difficult for Republicans to push their agenda through. Watch for all Republicans to distance themselves from the President who will go from lame duck to dead duck. Republicans will start harping on Iraq and Democrats will try to take the lead on fighting terrorism and the economy and will be criticizing Republicans for a record deficit, high oil prices, poor Iraqi and Iran policies, and corruption. The Presidential hopefuls will all be trying to balance themselves On the fence --- in other words, politics as usual

I think Democrats are starting to get over the euphoria of their win and are realizing what actually happened. Voter samples show that voters were not really voting for the Democrats, but rather against the Republicans. What the voters have done is actually create a stalemate situation. This because while Democrats control the congress, the president controls veto power and the Democrats do not have the majority required to override. So while Democrats have indeed made the president a lame duck, they have also imposed the same on the congress. It does not have to be this way though. If Democrats reach across the aisle to craft bi-partisan legislation which benefits all Americans they can still accomplish many things. However, if they fall back on the liberal agenda nothing of substance will get done in government for the next 2 years. The biggest problem for Democrats is now they have the power and they must produce. Just calling the other side evil is not going to do it anymore. The Democrats say they wanted change for all Americans, the coming days, weeks, and months will show if they were honest, or if they just wanted power again and were willing to say whatever it took to get elected.

"Will it be a landslide to the Democrats to teach the Republicans a lesson?"\n\nI SURELY HOPE SO!!!

You dont know how sure i was that the Democrat was going to get in last term...  I mean everywhere I looked, people hated Bush...  You coulve run anyone, and they shouldve beat thim..\n\nSo in short, I dont know, but I doubt it.  Especially with the candidates they are hinting at now..  No sexism or racism intended, but the only Democrat who has a chance in hell of winning is a straight white male.  Yes there are qualified candidates outside of that group, but the US is not ready for them...  Democrats run anyone else and you will see a huge landslide victory for the Republicans.

Not exactly, but that's as close a parallel as you can make with the Democrats sort of like the Laborites.\n\nYesterday's election would be a lot like a no confidence but bush will not do the gentlemanly thing and step down, the next election will be in 2008.

It will take years to straighten out the mess that Bush has started, indeed the next president will have his or her work cut out for them. I think the only hope is to hold Bush in check until his term is up and the only way to do that is to elect democrats to the house and senate this november.

No. If the Republicans lose control of Congress it will be because everyone - Democrats and Republicans alike - will be tired of the rhetorical crap that Congress spews out. \n\nAlthough the President's poll ratings have been really down for a while, Congress's ratings haven't been much better. People are tired of the same old tired rhetoric that has been around since the 80's. It is time for a change. \n\nMost of the House and Senate is full of old baby boomer geezers who are all has beens. We need young blood in there and it is hard to find young people interested when state and local legislatures are the cesspools of corruption that Congress and Washington is. \n\nIt doesn't matter if you are a conservative, a liberal or what you are. All those labels are obsolete and worn out. Congress and the bureaucrats in Washington need to be knocked off at the knees because their ideas are worn out and stale.

Not very fun, I fear.\n\nThis election will, no doubt, be very "nasty and brutish" given the way trends have gone in the past several elections.\n\nThe democrats are full of hate for President Bush, and that seems to be pretty much their only platform point, so far.  That won't win the election for them, but it will keep the mud-slinging at a very high level.\n\nAnd the Republicans, sad to say, will no doubt sink right down into the same pig trough.

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.

It is about the manical lunacy of Dubya.  By having a Democratic house, it will hopefully neutralize the power of the president.  Hopefully we have a batch of Dems who have discovered that the actually have a backbone and stand up when Bush decides to do something else crazy. Hopefully each side can recognize that as voters we have had enough of the bs, and it is time to get it together.

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.

No, and maybe. It depends on if a democratic majority is returned to congress this year, if we leave it for the repulicans it will never happen.

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, San Francisco).  About a year from now.\n\nDems win big in November.\nPelosi becomes Speaker of the House.\nDems and a few mod Reps impeach Bush and Cheney.\nPelosi is next in succession and takes office.\n\nThis scenario is COMPLETELY POSSIBLE.

They will realize it the same time the democrats realize President Bush is not running and stop attacking him.  \n\n\nDouble standards are a motherfu$$er

Whoever the Democratic nominee is.  With the way things are going right now, there's almost NO way a Republcan will win...especially if they associate themselves with President Bush.
