It's time we put a democrat in the White House.  And next time around, we will.  Comments?

What makes you think democrats will be any better?  It is dog eat dog in washington and everyone is out for kickbacks and power.  I don't think a change in party really helps anybody but the lobbists who have invested so much money in the candidate of their choice. \n\nWe have to look at each person who runs individually, regardless of their party and evaluate them based on their character and their ideas.

Harold Ford..\nI think pretty much any democrat should be able to take the White House, unless they rig it again or if John Mccain can get past the Republican thrashing he will recieve to win the GOP nomination. Personally right now I would like to see Mccain become the president. I think it would be best for the country to have a president who is not a divider, I don't see the Dem's attacking him too much on "real" issues like the economy and foreign relations. It's nice to see a Republican that has a brain and can think for himself..

Brilliant!!!! The conservatives, traditionalists, and republicans would be wise to start coalescing, and forming a strategy now. Many of your Ideas are doable, and would be a great platform to run on. Count me in. Many of these things could have been acted upon during the past six years, but partisan thinking reared it's ugly head and those years were wasted. The republicans will return, and take the country in a proper direction, not just a (new direction).

Okay now there has been enough clowns acting as president, don't you think it is time that we all got down to business and get someone in as president that isn't going to act like they are the class clown for the new term. If it was a vote between you and H C well not to hurt your fellings you know where my vote go. So I guess I loose this 10.

Darn tootin'  and  maybe that pesky amendment gets nullified and America turns to Geo W to lead them for another four years, wouldn't it be ironic if Geo W's one hard to dispute election would be for a third term in 2008?  History can turn on a year a month a week a day.    The second the new batch of Democrats get seated they'll be villified & trashed  by the well oiled Republican hate machine.\n\n(Must share my pet scenario - - Bush get 's 'incapacitated' on the same day Cheney has 'the big heart - - -,' then Pelosi becomes Prez within months of the 2008 campaign season.     That would be be a leap - - -   not that she won't be mentioned as a 'possible candidate' the next two years.)\n\nPeace...

I think that it's about time that we have another president that's not a middle aged caucasian with a full pocket.\nIt might change the way we view the world and what we do in it.

I'm trying to figure a way we can vote him in for a third and fourth term like FDR got.  Oh, I know they changed that rule by Amendment, but, seeing how the democrats got a President for four terms, I think it only fair that we Republicans get the same, and now that we're in the middle of a war like FDR was, I can't imagine a better time to re-elect GWB to a third and fourth term.  God Bless America, One Nation Under God.

Choose the Democrats if you have any cents.

It is about the manical lunacy of Dubya.  By having a Democratic house, it will hopefully neutralize the power of the president.  Hopefully we have a batch of Dems who have discovered that the actually have a backbone and stand up when Bush decides to do something else crazy. Hopefully each side can recognize that as voters we have had enough of the bs, and it is time to get it together.

I think Nancy Pelosi has some great leadership skills and will help set  a direction for the Democrats. I am and Independent who dislikes both parties but voted for Democrats this time as it is a time for a change. Whether it will be positive remains to be seen. I have not heard of a specific direction and program agenda that they have. I do hope for the sake of the nation both parties can get us headed in the right direction. Enough of the scare tactics by Bush regarding national security. Lets actually see what can be done here not abroad to make use safer. I don't care whether Iraq stands up as a democracy or goes down the toilet. They will tear each other up based upon 2000 years of violent history and sectarian violence. Typical third world mentality. We should not abandon them but we do need to start withdrawing.

I would love to add to your statement but you have covered it well!\n\nThose that wish to cause problems for us would prefer that a Democrat be in charge.  Democrats are complacent!\n\nA fine example was during the Carter administration.  Iran held United States citizens hostage while the Carter administration tried to talk.  As soon as a Republican took office, the hostages were released.

i just want someone who has sense. i am so tired of everything being so divided in washington between the republicans and the democrates and the house and the senate. i mean they cant even work on eny thing together the way they need to. they need to fix social security and pass the right laws and stuff. i just want a good president .

That would be a great idea.  Lets get a president that has less knowledge of foreign policy than george w bush.  Then lets vote her into office in the moddle of a fuckin_ war.

Anyone but a Republican... It's time for a change.. The present administration has participated in the very acts that this country has always deplored.. Secrecy, wire tapping, lying, torture, in addition to running up the largest deficit in history and just being a bad Govt. for the people.  Never should the house and senate be controlled by the same political party as the White House... There needs to be checks and balances and you don't get this with an all Republican or Democratic party controlling the entire ball of wax...

Of course it should be a democrat.  And unless things change very dramatically over the next two years, it's a fair bet it WILL be a democrat.   \n\nPeople are finally starting to catch on that the Iraq war was a bad idea, and Bush screwed up by starting it.  What I want to know is what took them so long.  Everything that opponents of the war have been saying from the start turned out to be true.  And most of it was obvious from the start to anyone who payed attention in 9th grade history.\n\nAnd then there's the Foley scandal.  Sexually harassing teenage boys doesn't go over too well with a constituent base that's big on family values.  And having so Republican congressmen helping to cover it up makes the whole party look bad.\n\nOf course, those are by no means the only Republican screw-ups, but they seemed to be the too biggest factors in Tuesday's Democratic victory.  When it comes down to it, in one of the senate races (I think it was Rode Island), the Republican incumbent was voted out essentially just because he was a Republican, despite being one of the more liberal Republicans in congress and having been fairly popular in his home state.  The Democrats took over the senate with just 1/3 of the seats up for reelection.  The presidental election is still two years away, so things can change, but right now it's quite clear that America does not want another Republican.
