Election today

Democrats are expected to control the House after the election today. I understand the president's party historically loses 37 seats in the sixth year election. That might not be so bad. The public mood seems to swing back and forth. If Republicans hold on today, there might be just that much more pent up dissatisfaction in 2008. That could produce some real damage: Democratic control of the presidency and House, maybe even Senate. Who knows what marvelous things Hillary and Nancy Pelosi could do together with some real power. On the other hand, if Democrats win today, how much damage can they do with Bush as president and the Senate in Republican hands. Of course, Bush may need to learn how to veto a bill. But I think Democrats getting some power now could forestall a bigger swing in 2008. I've got to believe the public will tire of Pelosi very quickly when they see a little more of her views and approach to power. That could be just what we need to set up the 2008 election.
