[plain talk]

If Democrats win, it really is not going to make that much of a difference (the SC is an exception).

Looks like you already blew your argument. :-) SC is a reason by itself to vote Republican for the Presidency. Chairmanships is a reason by itself to vote R for members of Congress. Look at each committee and examine who would be running those committees if dems were in charge. If Pelosi were in charge of the House there would be impeachment hearings right now.

So your statements make no logical sense in the real world.

Pelosi having impeachment hearings would be the best thing that could happen to the Republican party.

The SC has four very conservative members and one who leans right. They are all in good health - the SC battle has been won. I also think that Bush will get the opportunity to nominate one more justice (let's hope and pray he doesn't screw it up).

I don't see the Dems being able to take the senate in any scenario. They have a reasonable shot at taking the house. I don't think it will have a huge impact to America if the Dems take the house - I can't imagine they could spend any more than what the Republicans are!
