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.

Screwed?\n\nIn U.S. elections, you're almost always talking about very small margins (both in individual races and in the total make-up of the legislature).\n\nThere is an exact 50/50 split between Democrats and Republicans in the Senate.  The House remains split 56/44--only with Democrats taking the lead position.  It's not as if Democrats won election in historic levels.  The country is just readjusting back to center (and corporate globalist aspirations will also now shift back to center--President Bush himself has said that the time for partisanship is over) after a brief foray in MILD partisan government.\n\nDon't raise the red flag just yet.

DEMOCRATS.\n\nGo to Yahoo news. Democrats won control of the House, and now have control of the Senate. The Senate race from Virginia determined who won, a DEOMCRAT won the race, but they will have  are re-count later this month because he won by 7,000 votes.

Democrats would need to win control of Congress in the upcoming elections. If that doesn't happen you can forget about it. The Republicans would never let it happen.

Of the two senate elections up for grabs, the Democrats are winning by a couple of thousand votes.\n\nAmerica fired the Republicans.

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.

Senate Yes. House toss up.

The Republicans control Congress, and the Democrats are spineless.\n\nMaybe the Dems will grow some balls after they win back the Congress in November.

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?

That's true. From what I've seen, it looks like Republicans may keep a thin hold on the senate. So even if they have the house, neither side is going to make much progress in the next few years.

As long as the Republicans have 34 seats in the Senate, it won't happen. As the Democrats closed ranks when Clinton was impeached, so the Republicans will do if Bush is impeached. \n\nAlso, why would the Democrats want Bush gone? They stand to win in a landslide in the 06 midterm elections, and take back both the congress and white house in the 08 elections. Bush is the best thing to happen to the Democrats since Clinton.

It is anybody's ballgame. This country is split down the middle when it comes to voters. No one is winning in a landslide next week. It will be interesting and no matter what the outcome, as a Republican I will respect the votes, win or loose. I do believe that Dem control of either house will hurt the Dem's in 08. To close a look at these people will not sit well with the majority of Americans, the fringe left will love it but they are a small % of the party.

Even if they lose they will still be in Washington. They will just be in the minority. Truthfully both parties will move out of Washington. It is never to early for politicians to start campaigning for 2008. They don't really work any more they just run for office take vacations and vote to give themselves a raise. And that is bipartisan.

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.
