If the Democrats get 60+ seats in the Senate, a bigger majority in the House and Obama as President, they can really screw things up.

Massive new government regulations.

Very liberal justices, if not an expansion of the Supreme Court to 12 members to pack it.

Lower courts packed with liberal justices

Higher taxes

Windfall taxes on oil companies which will result in lower production of oil, and potential shortages of gasoline at the pump

Open borders for illegal immigrants

Compulsory unionization through the check off system

Government takeover of the health care sector.

Massive new environmental regulation

Massive new affirmative action programs

After two years, the US economy would be more centrally controlled than any EU member's. McCain won't go that far. He is currently in the running.

Obama with 41 R senators couldn't do major damage, but with 39 R senators, the Democrats could do massive damage.

McCain would sign off on half the stuff you mentioned, not to mention continuing to waste money and lives in Iraq.

It would just bring on the revolution a little sooner than later and that is a good thing.
