Dems Rule

The Democrats have control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 12 years! It looks like they will win control of the Senate also, depending on whether there will be a recount in Virginia, and on which caucus Joe Lieberman votes with. As an Independent, he could go either way.

Dick got a kick out of the news that the last two Republicans to concede were named Burns and Allen. (Conrad Burns and George Allen). Goodnight, Gracie.

Jennifer Granholm won re-election as our Governor, And Debbie Stabenow retains her Senate seat.

With the Democrats in charge, we're hoping to see movement on the minimum wage, Medicare reform, etc. As far as the war in Iraq goes I'm not sure how easy it will be to clean up the mess that the Bush Administration has made. Somebody should have told the candidates "Be careful what you wish for".
