Will the new supreme court result in a democratic win in 2008?

Your question makes no sense at all. However, let's say that you had asked if pro-choice supporters would work hard for Democrats because of the recent appointments to the Supreme Court.\n\nThe extreme pro-choice (dare I say pro-abortion) crowd is extremely angry about the Alito confirmation (moreso than the Roberts confirmation, because Alito refused to say that Roe v. Wade is settled law). They are very angry at the 17 Democrats who voted for cloture (that is to end the filibuster, which could've been sustained if it had been supported by all 42 senators who eventually voted against the confirmation). This will likely dampen their enthusiasm for Democratic candidates in 2006 and 2008.\n\nAlso, it should be noted that the confirmation hearings and the attempt to filibuster Justice Alito should provide Republicans with some ammunition against Democrats.\n\nI don't think this will be a successful issue for the Democrats, however, as the most vocal opponents of the nominees are out of the mainstream of American thinking.

There is no race in 2007 it is 2008. So for there to be a new president in 2007 it would follow the rules of succession. In 2008, it would be nice if it were no one who voted for the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, or the Bankruptcy Bill.  Lets see...  I nominate Russ Feingold the only US senator to meet those requirements.

No, actually B. B, the move to the center will help the country, I see a future now and the last 6 years I saw none. Just more war and more restrictions of our freedoms. I think this will be guarded better with the moderate democrats then it was with the moderate repuglicans.

Policy is under the realm of the president and it will not change. This situation could be an opportunity for the Democrats or it could become their worst nightmare. If they are willing to work with the Republicans to craft bi-partisan legislation they can produce results. If they choose to fall back on the liberal agenda nothing substantial will occur for the next 2 years. Either way they are in control of the congress now and just blaming the other side is no longer sufficient. They campaigned on change for all Americans if they are incapable of providing direct results they will lose power again in the next election. If you read Democrat posts they are elated they won, but you will not find any real statements about how their agenda will be accomplished given the real circumstances that exist in government at the present time.

Yes. Eliminate unnecessary lawyers and vote Democratic.

unfortunately, no..although we got a democratic governor and senator, both of their opponent had one this people were upset with.  We still have many republican congresspeople and judges.  I think that people were sick of corruption in Ohio and DC with the republicans, but will have very high expectations for democrats now that they may not be able to fulfill.  It is still a swing state, but as a democrat, I see some hope for a change.

yes, Hillary Clinton will win in 2008. Opra has put her money on that and so has Howard Stern.\nMany in Hollywood are backing Hillary in 2008. Whoever has the most money will win. That is fact.\nOpra is one of the richest women in America and Stern just got a $500 million contract. Actors are paid $20 million per picture and are backing Hillary.. I am positve Hillary will have many Minority women in her Administration.

Not exactly, but that's as close a parallel as you can make with the Democrats sort of like the Laborites.\n\nYesterday's election would be a lot like a no confidence but bush will not do the gentlemanly thing and step down, the next election will be in 2008.

No. An exercise in futility. Conviction requires a 2/3 vote from the Senate.  Will never happen unless something even worse than what he has already done is uncovered.  The democrats would be better advised politically to pass positive legislation that benefits middle class americans and have Bush veto it.

I find most results of last Tuesday's election to say the least puzzling. I find it stranger still that since the democrats won, there were no lawsuits like the past elections.

NO, WE ARE FINE BECAUSE THE LIBERAL 4 NOW WILL BE 6 IN 2009, IT WILL HAPPEN. 6-3 VOTES IN FAVOR OF LIBERALISM. IT WILL BE SO.

They're done for an the irony is that a big democratic win will proabably be better for them overall due to the fact that the government will work better.

I am hoping that it will be a democratic victory in November. It would provide for some checks and balances in our government that is lacking now. It would scare me more to give Bush two more years with a free hand. Just look at what he has done with the last 6 with a Repuglican majority.

Probably so.  The public would then have a chance to see just how far left the Democratic party (especially Nancy) has gone.  Unfortunately, there might be some serious damage to the judges nominated to federal courts by then.

Firstly, it is not yet safe to declare a victory in both Houses of Congress for the Democratic Party.\n\nSecondly, I do think that will be the reality tomorrow morning.\n\nThirdly, I feel that the best thing about this is that there is tangible proof of a mandate from a majority of Americans that the past few years have been mistake after mistake by the current political leadership.  While my own personally feelings about the matter would lead to making much stronger statements and all executive administrations make some mistakes, we have spent two many years with a leader that is increasingly disconnected from the population.\n\nFourthly, the change of power in political parties will likely give impetus to stronger accountability from the President.  We have just endured 6 years of having obstinate personal agendas being placed ahead of the needs of the population of this country.

Not until Jan. when the Democrats take control.  Right now the Republicans are still in power.

As the approval ratings drop, we’ll finally see the percentage of Americans this administration caters to.  I’m guessing 25-30%.\n\nYes, this is wonderful news for Democrats running in November, which in turn will be great for the American public. Along with history, these ratings will guarantee a change in political leadership come 2008.\n\nHappy days are on the way!
