Look, I'm of the opinion that one party should not hold such all-around majorities. I'll point out that at this historical moment, all 3 branches of government belong, ever so slightly, to the GOP. That's simply scary. I like the balance of a Congress that is of the party opposite the President.
A lot of you GOP supporters, I might note, don't like the idea of "pass new laws" and instead support "enforce old ones." Well, get ready to see craploads of new legislation getting passed. I, for one, do not like that, no matter what party is in power.
In Illinois, by the way, we had a flip-flop to Democrats, with even Lisa "I never set foot in a trial courtroom" Madagan winning Attorney General. For the first time in 30 yrs, we've got a Democratic Governor. The unfortunate loser in the Governor, Jim Ryan, was very gracious, composed, and reflective, especially after a rather bitter race. Like Mr. Gore, I think he would have stood a better chance had he shown this other side of himself before the night he lost. As one last note I'm sure no one on this board will find very relevant, I must say that political campaigns in Illinois are amazingly dirty. But, I've also seen evidence that races all around the country got pretty muddy.
