Yes they did - and this is a good thing for our current government. It is always better for the people when the Congress and White House are controlled by opposing parties. That way, there has to be discussion, debates and compromise on issues rather than the President receiving rubber-stamped carte' blanche for his policies. This is true regardless of which party the President belongs to.

As for Hillary running for President in 2008, I think America IS getting closer to accepting the concept of a female President. My good buddy CP - who is a Political Science major and devout follower of politics - insists Hillary WON'T be the Democratic Nominee and complains she only gets mentioned because the Repugs are still "obsessed" with the Clinton era.

While CP certainly knows more about politics than I do (and follows them much more closely than I ever will), I see either Hillary or Obama (Senator from Ohio, IIRC) as being the front-runners to represent the Democrats in 2008. If they don't get the Presidential nod, I believe one of them will almost certainly be the VP Candidate.
