Depends on how you plan to travel there:

If flying by air after January 23, 2007 you will need a passport. After Jan 1st, 2008 you will either need a passport or a passcard.
Hopefully, all you will need is a passcard for land and sea except for cruises. This is supposed to be cheaper than passports.
If you work their. You will still be able to use what you have used in the past without any further ID.

Yes...
....The requirement for citizens of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda to present a passport to enter the United States when arriving by air from any part of the Western Hemisphere will begin on January 23, 2007...
There is also a spelling test.

No passport needed for a quick, short trip. But, If you are going to take a job and live there you'll need a work visa.
