If they take both the House and the Senate there might be expectations. If they just take the House as expected it would be hard for them to do much with both the Senate and Presidency in Republican hands. If they can just offer viable alternatives I think people will be satisfied whether they actually become law or not.

Originally Posted By Labuda CNN projects Sen. Joe Lieberman will keep his Connecticut Senate seat; he ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary. Wow. Big shock to the Dems if Lieberman wins.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Ellison, the Minnesota democrat who's a Muslim has just been projected the winner in his U.S. House of Representatives race. Just thought you'd want to know. I'm sure some will think life as we know it is about to end. Personally, I don't think anyone will notice the difference.
