What will it mean if Democrats win control of at least one house? What will it mean if they don't?

(Remember, regardless of the national outcome Democrats will win the majority of State Houses and Governorships)

If Democrats win control of at least one house it will mean investigations, hearings, and an end to war profiteering. The initial focus of the hearings will be on profiteering with a keen eye on the Vice President. Democrats will not proceed toward impeaching president Bush without proceeding toward the impeachment of Vice President Cheney first.

This will not be hard. Cheney is dirty and it will be easy to uncover the dirt. He's up to his eyes in bad no bid contracts that put US troops at risk.

If Dems win, Cheney loses.

Now on to the negative side of the equation. If Dems don't win.

Remember, Democrats are going to take the majority of State Houses and Governorships regardless of the national outcome. This is good. But, if Democrats don't win at least one house of Congress there will be a danger of the party collapsing. If a collapse can be avoided the long term prospects for the democratic party will be very very good.

Picture another 2 years of floundering in Iraq resulting in the outright waste of American lives.  Picture a Republican Congress failing to do any oversight for another 2 years. The American people will hold Republicans responsible and Democrats will dominate the political landscape in this country for the next 50 years.

We WILL take the House (none / 0)
I predict a 50-50 even split between liberals and conservatives (I use these terms because we will have a couple independents), which will force Dick Cheney into the limelight on occasion.  This will be utterly delicious.

You mean the Senate? (none / 0)
It could happen. I'd like to see it. I'd like to see Cheney forced into the sunlight. That would be a long 2 years for him.

However, if We win either house Cheney's days are numbered. I have no doubt he has committed impeachable offenses and I have no doubt dems will go after him first on the list.
