preahko Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/07/AR2006110700473.html Democrats captured a majority of the House of Representatives tonight, as voters delivered a rebuke to the Bush administration and the governing Republicans amid an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq and a rash of scandals tainting GOP incumbents in several states. The Senate, however, remained up for grabs tonight, with Democrats winning half of the six Republican seats they needed for a majority there, but several other key races still too close to call. The victory in the House marked a fundamental power shift in Washington, where Republicans have held the chamber for the past dozen years. It put Rep. Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) in position to take over next year as the first woman speaker of the House in U.S. history, and it poses a new challenge for President Bush during his final two years in the White House.

Bangkoktraveler Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Sad, neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have a working plan. About all they can do is throw sand in the sandbox. Too bad the dog pisses in the sandbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
