all Republicans are free to go spend their oil profits, the only legacy of Bush Cheney.
What Barry Goldwater started, George Bush retired.

Well, on the surface things look pretty bleak for Republicans. Historically speaking, this is no surprise. However, it is not as bad as it seems!
History of mid-term elections: Any time the United States has been at war during a mid-term election, there has been a shift in power. The deaths from the war are never easy to take and as a whole, Americans do not have the stomach nor heart to endure continued losses, even for a good cause. This election's shift in power is no big surprise. However, there's a silver lining...
Several of the gains made by Democrats were by conservative democrats. Joe Lieberman, a registered and caucased Dem, ran against his own party's nominee as an independant... and WON! Joe is a conservative Dem that supports the cause of fighting terror. So if the war in Iraq is the cause for the shift in power, why were conservatives elected? While a majority of Americans feel things are going wrong in Iraq, they still understand the reason we are there. We are NOT supporting the Dem's idea of passing the baton of victory to the terrorists, but instead, want to be open-minded that we need a new strategy that will better ensure victory.
Another gleeming hope for Republicans is the fact that referendums this election tend to favor conservatism. Several states banned same sex marriage. One state banned abortion. Basically, while there was a cry for change in power, a majority of Americans still cling to conservative views.
Watch for Joe Lieberman to rally other Conservative Dems in the Senate. Should the VA seat fold to a Dem, the control they hoped for is still not locked. Joe and a handfull of Conservative Dems will still swing a good deal of power to the President on issues of the war on terrorism.

Then, yes, unfortunately Nancy Pelosi would become President of the United States. There's actually a long line of people in case the president dies. It is: Vice President Speaker of the House President Pro Tempore of the Senate Secretary of State Secretary of the Treasury Secretary of Defense Attorney General Secretary of the Interior Secretary of Agriculture Secretary of Commerce Secretary of Labor Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Secretary of Transportation Secretary of Energy Secretary of Education Secretary of Veterans Affairs Then again, if we ever got past the fourth or fifth spot on the list, the country would probably be in pretty bad shape and having a president probably wouldn't really matter all that much.

Crystal ball shows no retirements with Bush and Cheney however they will work with the democrats now due the scrubbing of yesterday. We have a lot of work to do and by pulling together at least we have a chance of making government work for the people. It will not be easy.

The same chance there is of this magically turning into a non-stupid question - zero!
The American people elected Bush, not that socialist twit from San Francisco.
And parroting the leftist screed about oil profits only makes you appear to be a dolt.
Just like trying to tell us what conservatism means. We don't need to be taken to task by people who are clueless.

No. You might want to check how many democrats are stock holders in oil companies and other companies that fuel the war effort and made big profits as a result.

We can all only dream. Not only would we finally have a Dem back in the White House, but it would be a woman to boot. How great would that be?

If Pelosi was ever President the entire country would just get up and leave.

You won. Get over your anger.
That's the problem with liberals. You're sore losers, and horrible winners - kind of like grade-school children, except they have a chance to grow out of it.
