1. kind of a mix
I think if we have a Dem President we will need a Dem Senate or Congress to make any real change.

3. Oh but think of the fun we'd have
If the Repukes tried to block a Democratic president's judicial nominees, we'd have 40+ hours of senatorial debate quotes to shove back in their faces. :evilgrin:

I've had enough fun for one lifetime.

4. I have hope
that we can win the presidency and the Senate. I don't think we will win Governorships or the Congress though.

6. :)
you know if we had overwhelming majorities in both houses I could live with the admin for the 15 minutes it would take to impeach and jail the whole lot of them.

7. This is an interesting poll
If we took back the senate and lost the presidency I'd be ok. I don't care as much about the Governors, except the one in my state and he's not up for reelection. If we get a Democrat President and keep about the same in house and senate, it will be very tough for whoever is president, but probably ok for the rest of us.

8. any Democratic victory is huge
In this day of black-box voting and other Repug vote fraud, a Democratic victory means we pulled over 80% of the actual vote.

9. Gridlock would be delightful
but all the DINOs in the house & senate make me nervous.
