One can only hope. While I've certainly been party to strenuous admonitions
about how terrible things have been under Bush (and they have been terrible
IMHO), the bigger picture demands a more measured approach about how we
govern ourselves. The founders had amazing foresight, and this election
proves it.

No congratulations are in order. This shouldn't be an us vs. them
situation.
Now that the House is under Dem leadership, perhaps some thoughtful
discussion can happen between the two parties. If the Senate goes also,
that
will make it even more likely, since the only alternative is gridlock.

Indeed. Congratulations should be extended to the framers for their
check and balance foresight and the American citizenry for exercising
their right to vote their conscience.

We have an opportunity to repair what's gone wrong if the partisanship
can get set aside or at least somewhat muted.

If Bush is demanding and attempts to push politically-motivated
"reforms" such as social security, he'll cement the Ds position as the
preferred party.

Jon,

Congratulation; by all means are in order. Congratulations for the
American people.
WE THE PEOPLE have given our government a huge start for improvement!

Not just in Foreign policy but hopefully in HONESTY.

It is a great example of what a democratic-republic has the ability to
do. It isn't a cure as yet but WHAT A BEGINNING!
