I was upset for a while, but I always try to look on the brighter side of things!

Often times Dems will try to campain as conservatives, and there was a lot on the shoulders of the GOP during this election.

Honestly, I think having Pelosi as Speaker of the House will GREATLY help us in 2008. I also think that President Bush will find his veto pen too.

I will be stuned for a few days.

I woke up this morning thinking the same thing: The democrats now have the stage, and they'll show their true colors.

All of this "We support our troops" talk: We'll see won't we?

The GOP needed a wake up call and got it. Hopefully it'll unite us for the next fight.

Same here. I am hoping for deadlock and that conservative Democrats will vote more along conservative lines. Also, this may cause Republican Party leaders to remember the Contract with America and generate a similar set of goals and focus on meeting them. Also, victory in 2008 will depend on us. I for one, shall gripe less on FR and take my gripes more to the folks for whom I voted and the Party leadership. Hearing from constituents is better than any damned poll. Who knows, some FReepers may find their ideas on policy actually offered for legislation. I am choosing not to be like a DUer and whine in the face of defeat. I am choosing not to be a pessimist. I am choosing to fight to win.
