Obama in the White House!
Dems control Senate (56-40!)
Dems control House (251-173)
Dems take control of both the Senate and Assembly in Wisconsin for the first time since I was 6.

Change is coming!

They don't... dreback72 November 7 2008, 17:13:15 UTC

"control" the senate, they have a majority...

BIG Difference!!!

If they had 60 seats they would almost have "control" of the senate.

They also have less than a 60% majority in the house as well.

I tend to run moderate on fiscal things but liberal on social issues.

I don't want to to complete democratic "control", the public will back lash
during the mid-term elections.

Let's hope that Obama stays centrist enough financially and keeps his broad
appeal so he isn't a one-termer.

That is my 2 cents.

I am, of course, glad for the switch back to a democratic president.

Sorry to offend you, but I was just reporting results using the exact same language as the AP, MSNBC and CNN...perhaps you should send them a letter?

For the record: MUCH can be done with a simple majority.

NO worries, I'm not the slightest bit offended dreback72 November 7 2008, 21:03:45 UTC

I apologize as well.

I just think that the sources that you have quoted are using rather strong
language.

They should also check their math a little in my opinion, but I digress.

Remember when the 2006 midterm elections swung to the democratic side
of things? All the polls recently show that the average person's approval
of congress is lower than "dub-ya's".

LOWER THAN "DUB-YA'S".

Kind of scary.

When you have the majority/are in chage sometimes you un-fairly get a
big fat target on your back/forehead.
