WASHINGTON - Democrats won 15 Republican-held districts Tuesday in nearly every region of the country, enough to wrest control of the House if all incumbents hold their seats.

As voters demonstrated their disenchantment with a war, a president and scandals on Capitol Hill, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) predicted, "We are on the brink of a great Democratic victory." The California Democrat is in line to become the first female House speaker if her party gains 15 seats to win control of the House and end the GOP's 12-year reign.

For the sake of all of us, let us hope and pray you are just kidding.
However one thing she could do which is well past it's sell by date, is to clean up the politicians in the congress, Democrats as well as Republicans.
It is about time the USA reclaimed it's politicians from the trough in which many of them stick their faces in.

Anyone who has been around this forum knows you definitely aren't kidding in the least. I just stopped in to this thread to see if you'd be a classy democrat or a gloating one. Didn't take me long to find out.

Congratulations to the democrats on a hard fought campaign!

No, not really, I wouldn't want the democrats to try to impeach President Bush, it would be a waste of valuable time which would be better spent concentrating on trying to get our troops out of Iraq.

Gloat? Maybe but I prefer to think of it as celebrating a much deserved sweeping victory by the Demo's. We can celebrate, can't we? :cool:
