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.

Dem 235 \nRep 200\n\n\nEven if the Reps get all 10 of them, the Dems still have majority. But the more the Dems get, the more comfortable the margin and it will play a part in voting within the House on specific issues.

They won't rally around a Dem.  They'll engage in a smear campaign of Democrats so that they can seize power at the next opportunity.  \n\nThey'll all return to work for the weapons contractors that they have worked for during the last 20 years.

While both sides are giddy, and rightfully so, the reality of the matter is starting to hit home with the Democrats.  In the house they have a few moderates and a cabal of conservatives who cannot be predicted to vote along party lines because to do so would mean having to answer in two years.  In the senate the margin is even narrower.

I don't think a thing will change, except maybe the Dems will stop b@#ching so much and the Reps will start.

Maybe Bush and Cheney will step down too.   No, there's a honeymoon period where both Bush and the Dems claim they're going to work together.  That should last about 30 - 45 days, then we'll see what happens.

give it a few days then reality will sink in for both...something about reality is very sobering. the rep's will have to face it that their time is going to get much more difficult and the dem's will have to fact it that they have to come up with some plan other than the 'i hate bush' plan.

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.

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...

2 years for the House of Reps, 6 years for a Senator

CONGRESS would be the answer until the new house gets sworn in.\n\nTHEN we'll see what real PROGRESS is.   The US will be out of IRAQ within the year.

definitly, the democrats will regain the house and the senate will stay republican by a narrow margin ,that is until the next election and then they will lose the senate and the presidency...

There's not exactly complete control by the Republican party.  And we've had long runs with the Dems at other points in history... in fact, the Democrats had twenty years (1933-1953) of executive control with F.D.R. and then Truman.  And we did alright.  ;)  In any case, these are elected officials, so if things go sour for a considerable amount of time, the American people will demand a change.  That is a check in and of itself.

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.
