No congratulations are in order. This shouldn't be an us vs. them
situation. Now that the House is under Dem leadership, perhaps some
thoughtful discussion can happen between the two parties. If the
Senate
goes also, that will make it even more likely, since the only
alternative is gridlock.

Three observations:

1) The two-party system still works. When the electorate becomes
dissatisfied with the current party in power, it replaces it with the
other one.

2) Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Bush administration lost
its
ideological way somewhere along the line. Hopefully congressional
oversight will mean a close examination of issues and dollars, rather
than personal attacks.

3) Sadly the outcome of what could be a productive and constructive
election will likely be bitter party division and bickering. In other
words, nothing new.

I agree. I hope #3 is wrong.

Dreamer.

It's already starting. Murtha wants to be Majority Whip.

And all those Blue Dog Democrats - oh, boy, this is going to be
interesting.

And now I just read that the new head of the House Intelligence
Oversight committee is going to be Alycee Hastings.

Anybody remember Alycee Hastings?

And now, it appears that Rep. Jane Harmon who was in line to get the
job until the new Speaker decided she was too "hawkish" is under
investigation by Justice because of her close ties to The American
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) itself under investigation for
violating the Espionage Act in the Lewis Franklin case.

Harrumph - hell, it ain't even been two days and already the Dems have
ethics problems.

It's only a matter of time until some gay Democrat starts taking 17
year old male page to Spain on a trip and essentially rape him. Or
maybe even start a prostitution ring out of his apartment.

Oh wait - that's already been done.

My bad.
