But the issues the United States has gotten itself into are tough even with the most well meaning people. We are dealing with issues that will take decades to resolve no matter who is in power. What new problems will the Democrats now introduce? Well, I suspect that the Democrats will introduce many, like in immigration, but a change in tone for the same tired arguments, if nothing else, is refreshing.

Although the Democrats have almost won it all, we're still stuck with Bush. Also, we're still stuck with Lieberman. Okay, so maybe I was a little too cynical.

It's indirect, but possible. Does this mean that Obama gets more brownie points for becoming president? It’s indirect, but possible.

I'm skeptical that the Democrats will take the House and defintely not the Senate. The fact is that there is simply too much stupidity and ignorance in this country. Hell, 34% of Americans <i>still</i>(!) think that Saddam Hussein was personally involved with 9/11. I've heard reports that Dennis Hastert is actually 10 points ahead of his Democratic opponent in the polls. I saw the Borat movie this weekend and that simply solidified my opinion that a lot of people will never vote for a Democrat and their beliefs will not be shaken by such quaint things as facts. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen the movie (two thumbs up!) but I think those who see it will probably agree with me. Beliefs are incredibly hard to shake and they won't change even with 4 weeks of Republican scandals.
