While hate alone will not get it... who controls both Houses of Congress and what emotion catapulted them into power?

Did Democrats win the election, or did Republicans not vote?

Hate had nothing to do with 2006 (though I know it must be comforting to think otherwise).

2006 was the result of

(1) GOP corruption in Congress (lost seats that were ultra-safe)
(2) GOP budgetary failures (spent more than Dems - lost fiscal conservatism mantle)

(3) Unpopular war (yes, I know that’s not the popular view here - but it IS unpopular in most towns)

(4) Katrina

(5) Historical pattern of 6th year losses for party in power.

The real question is whether the trend can be reversed. So far I see no signs. RATS have indeed failed to do anything, but that won’t be enough to kick them out.
