12. I want the Senate back, but not the house.
Yea, I know. Why the hell would I say that! Because I thing this country functions much better when there is a divided congress. One party, no matter which one it is, shouldn't control everything!

I want Kerry to win the Presidency, and the Dems to take back the Senate with enough of a majority to be able to overrule most objections. But I want that control tempered by the House.

Kerry as Pres. should be able to recommend 2 or 3 SCOTUS Judges, and I trust him enough that I don't think he will recommend extremists.

With the size and power of the Federal Gov't, we really should never have ONE party in charce of EVERYTHING!
