From watching the news it seems the Democrats will make some strong gains but if they don't, a lot of people will be shaking their heads.

Far from scientific, but my sister was just down in Seattle where she lived for 20 years and she said her friends[liberal] seemed confused. Like how could all this crap happen again. I just hope enough Democrats get out and vote when the whole voting system is in doubt.

OK, I'll say the Democrats make some gains but the Republicans stay in power in both houses. Hope I'm wrong but after Bush got in again, I don't have much faith in the American voters, also the Democrats aren't exactly setting the world on fire. Thier platform seems to be anti Bush but that's not enough.
