Doug, this business about "more Republican faces" or "more Democratic faces" in both houses come next election...and the hopeful expectation thereof on the part of millions like yourself...is the longest-running and probably the stupidest soap opera in history. It's guaranteed to reverse itself at predictable intervals...but nothing much really changes. That's the method of the drama, and it's primary purpose is to keep you entertained and distracted. (and at each other's throats, of course)
