Hoo-Fucking-Ray!
Democratic control of the House is finally here. While it's only by a slim majority, a victory is still a victory. It would appear that the Senate is up in the air at the moment. Frankly, with the two seats so close, and the fact they need both in order to take control there, I'm betting the Repubs hold it (I'm still keeping my fingers crossed). With just VA to go, it could actually happen. Too bad it looks like mid-December before we know for sure.
The House is nothing to sneeze at. At least one segment of the government has finally been wrested from the insane, out-of-touch, right. Maybe we can start to get some real accountability now.
Finally, it would appear that the GOPs one-note tactic of using fear (terror/gay marrige/illegal aliens) has worn thin with the American public. It just took longer for some people to see it, I guess.
P.S. Ha! I see Rumsfeld has been shown the door. It's a banner day, boys and girls! For the first time in a long while I actually feel a glimmer of hope.
