It isn't over until the Fat Lady sings, the Democrats have won nothing yet. They are notoriously poor voters despite having majority numbers.
Furthermore this is only mid-term Elections, if past trends are to be believed, the GOP base will turn as usual and a sizeable number of Democrats staying home.
True they might gain seats in both Houses, but will it be enough to alter the political landscape?

He came here on a work Visa, it expired 2 years ago. We can't afford an expensive lawyer. Is there another way? We all love him he's a wonderful person. I am scared any day he'll be sent back.

Or are you a "cut and run" conservative?

Your country needs you. If the thought of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House doesn't scare you, it should!

always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -forever."

Let's say you obtain a judgement for like a million dollars. Does the person you sued have to sell their home and assets to pay you? What if they still owe you money after that?

First off, I speak English. But when I went to renew my driver's license with the State, they had both Spanish and English written tests. How can you read English signs, warnings and other important stuff on the road if you don't know English?

Seen a few post that state the Republicans scare Mr & Mrs Jo/Jane Smith into voting for them by waving terrorist or other defense issues to the media.

So shouldn't the Democrats and or liberals say why they would also be good at defense or dealing with terrorist? Doesn't the fact that the Mr & Mrs Joe/Jane Smith trust the Republicans better for defense say something that the Democrats should be paying attention too instead of just crying foul?

With no end to the War in sight and Troop levels consistently on the rise (even as of today: reference the New York Times), would it be the worst thing imagineable to let our Soldiers come home?

And with a Democratic President, is this actually possible?

Do people in the South still have any hard feelings against the Union for the Civil War and Reconstruction, or are they immaterial when compared to their patriotism for the USA?

Was there a general time period when Southern animosity to the Union began to wane under renewed patriotism from the United States? Spanish-American War, WWI?

Any thoughts?
