I agree with you. The democrats have some big problems in my eyes- the biggest one (for me) is that most of them supported the Iraq war at its inception. But at this point (and at every other point) I've thought just about anyone else would be better than Bush. I'm sorry to see just how badly he has screwed our country, but a message really needs to be sent that he (and his posse) should stop doing things. I'm hoping for gridlock for the next two years- and I think that's about the best we can hope for. Viva la Gridlock.

I'm predicting a huge landslide victory. Somewhere between 25 congressional seats and 5 senate seats, and 45 and 8. If you've been watching the polls, they've been getting worse for the GOP, not better. The GOP has to pretty much give up on holding congress, but they are pouring money into 3 senate races in particular which they pray will hold the line, but they're ads are disgustingly negative and dishonest and might turn off the very voters they're trying to impress. One more huge problem for the GOP is in the northern states like NY and PA where democrats are way ahead in the polls, so the very few congressional races where the GOP has a chance could be hurt by low GOP turn-out. Why vote, you see, when you know all the statewide races are easy Dem victories? How many will turn out just to vote for disgraced Foleygate Reynolds for instance? Allen-Webb - Allen retains a slight lead but still can't reach 50%. If undecideds go for Webb he could win a narrow victory. Ford-Corker - the GOP has resorted to racist ads now, they're so desperate. Will racist ads still work in Tennessee 2006 even though Ford is obviously a far better candidate than corker? Talent-McCaskill - Talent is Bush's man so this is a referendum on Bush. Last time, McCaskill narrowly lost. All she needs is about 40% of the rural vote and she wins. Last time she got about 33%. dems have a huge turn-out machine in St. Louis.
