I don't have a lot of hope, unfortunately. I voted a split ticket, More
Dems
than Reps this time, because I like those candidates better. The party
as a
whole though, with Pelosi at the reigns leans too far left for meaningful
compromise. She has issued a list of major issues she intends to have up
for a
vote in the first 100 days that include stem cell research and about a
half
dozen equally volatile issues. 500 democrats by themselves could never
agree on
and write up these issues in 100 days, especially with all the conservative
Dems that just got elected. It will all bog down, and she will blame the
republicans for not being able to keep her promises. They have also
promised to
start lots of investigations into the republicans. This will take 2
years to
complete, and allow them to constantly tarnish the republicans still in
congress and senate, and of course the presidency and hopefully lead
them to a Dem
in the white house and bigger margin in the house and senate. As far as
meaningful change for our country, we will see very little. After all,
we just had
a bunch of republicans prove they can spend as well as the Democrats,
so we
try to solve the problem by electing real Democrats. They will need to
reward
their supporters, so we will see lots of new contracts awarded, etc.
Typical
with any party swing.
