Default Congratulations to the Democratic Party Supporters on this Forum

It looks like the House of Representatives is a lock to have a Democratic Party majority after the elections tomorrow and there's a decent chance the Democratic Party will control the Senate as well. Congratulations for the victory as I wouldn't have thought it a probable one a year ago. The "stay the course" policy of the administration regarding Iraq has been successfully campaigned against. I suppose that's a good thing since the public wants a change. Now the direction of that war will be debated and the new Congress will seek to implement a new policy. What will be the agenda for the new Congress? TIA for comments.

If 30% is a decent chance, yes, thats in the real world for the Senate. I generally dont like to enter hands when Im dominated though.

I have a $100 bet. Dems win both, i win, Reps retain both, i lose, split is a push. I love betting on the future of the free world.

I made $$$ when Arnold won in Cali, and lost my shirt when Kerry lost in 04

I believe we'll win the house. I have no idea what's gonna happen in the senate. I'm gonna be real tense for the next 36 hours.

Even I don't consider myself a Democrat, I really want them to win; so, tense is about right; I do have a bad feeling though when the elections are this close, they tend to go Republican because of the Diebold effect.

On behalf of Politics Forum Dems, I'm trying not to count those chickens, but I'm certainly making sure I know where the roost is at. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I'll still feel bummed if we don't take the Senate, but there will definately be a gloating thread if we take the House.

I have bookmarked threads from two yrs ago where I bragged about us retaking one if not both houses -

yes, there will be gloat [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

if we don't retake the house I think every pollster and educated person in the would would jump on the election fraud bandwagon - almost a mathemetical certainity.

senate is too close but sounds like it'll come down to VA/TN/MO - best 2 out of 3 win
