What reason do I have NOT to celebrate? Read the article. The point of it is even if demoncrats gained back control, they still lose overall.

Those claiming RealClearPolitics is simply a right-wing propaganda sight might also want to look at this article. This was written by a proud democrat.

You are wrong, Map. I care deeply for this country. I will be joining the armed services this coming spring. But my caring about this country is EXACTLY why I will never elect a party who get endorsements from mid-east terror leaders. It exactly why I will never elect a party who stand beside ACLU and NAMbLA. It is exactly why I will never vote for the party of abortion on demand. It is exactly why I will never vote for a party that constantly seeks to undermine a war effort, emboldening our enemies at the expense of our men and women in uniform... Need I go on?

Gerbil, get an education. Learn history and learn what terms like neocon mean before you start trying to throw personal insults. A neocon is a moderate, and is usually a democrat. Sorry.

I think it is an interesting article, proving that both sides do the exact same thing to each other. Can't we all admit that? or no, this wil be bush bashing time again.
I just wonder if Democrats don't do as well as expected, they will play the "republicans cheated" card. mark my words that will happen if they don't gain as many seats as expected.

Yes it's true. They don't realize that more than 30 Democrats, expected to win today, are really not Democrats at all. They only ran as Democrats for convenience purposes. The Democratic Party will NEVER ENJOY party line voting in the House.

How can any party that had FDR, JFK, Carter, Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Hillary Rottweiler Clinton and that Hillary wanna be from San Fransisco ever consider themselves to b winners? Whiners maybe. And, should they accidentally get into an office, the rest of us are the losers.

Huh? The kons (commie neo-fascist reds) know they screwed things up so bad they don't stand a chance of holding the house, so now they are trying to pretend it doesn't matter. What a bunch of losers. Looks now like they will also lose the senate.
Can anybody say "war crimes"?
Buh bye, W!

In an overall sense, they could, as they would have two years to try and turn things around

If more democrats vote than republicans, no they will not lose, but I think the republicans are very galvanized and will come out in greater numbers.

I have been trying to tell people these same facts. This guy couldn't be more right. I can't wait for '08.

You apparently only care about your "team" winning or making the other team look bad. You don't give a damn about the country only being on the winning side. If you're not, you rationalize the loss to make it seem like you won anyway.

no its not any vote for democrats is a vote for freedom of speech and as long as there is one person left who believes in freedom of speech democrats have won. but this election is showing that more americans believe in it than do not
