It's Broom Time!

The Democrats make it a clean sweep, taking the House, the Senate and the majority of Governorships!

There may be hope for this country yet.

I watched the night unfold on MSNBC, where they had Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann most of the night, joined some of the time by Joe Scarborough and Tucker Carlson and an ever-changing panel of people like Adrea Mitchell and Pat Buchanan. I thought they did an excellent job all night long. Olbermann in particular kept his opinions to himself most of the night, but you could tell, from time to time, that Matthews was overjoyed with the way the election was going.

Here's hoping the Democrats don't make the same mistakes the Republicans have been making for 12 years. I want to see lots of panels, lots of subpoenas and lots of Bush people taken away in chains. Pelosi says she can keep the rabid Democrats in line, but there are sure a lot of people in the party, elected people in the party, who want to see Bush's blood. That may be the hardest thing she has to control. Regardless of how it turns out, there is no way it cannot be a vast improvement over the "rubber stamping" that the current congress has given to Bush and every idiotic idea of his. Checks and balances have returned to our country.

Regardless of how it turns out, this was a great night for America and the world.
