The way things are going in the US, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Republicans lose control of at least the House next year.

I'm in a state that is so "red" it's sad. In fact, I live in the only city in the state of any size that has a Democratic mayor. And the people I talk to (and I'm damed wary of taling politics!) are pretty much sick of where the country's going. They're tired of a war that we can't seem to end, they're tired of prices that are going up, they're tired of TSA and Homeland Security and privacy erosion and, most especially, the extinction of the Middle Class.

I'm not going to be back to this thread, as I have just broken my promise to myself about posting politics. But that's how I see it right now.
