For as much as I want dems to take both house and senate, I really
want the House.

I want hearings. I want the dems to put a freeze on the crazy republican spending and pork barrell.

I want Delay gone from the House.

I'm not sure if I want Pelosi as speaker, however.

1. How about a comprimise? A narrow majority in both houses.
With the Senate majority, we can block any nominations that * may come up with in the last 2 years of his dictatorship.

3. He would just make them as recess appointments

5. According to the Constitution?
Now why would the * administration let a little thing like the Constitution get in their way?

6. Because come 2009, Bush will be gone and if we play our cards...
