Democrats took control of the Senate, as well as the House of Representatives. Same thoughts as before apply, although I’d like to warn Democrats of excess. The most important things for the Democrats to focus on are the War, Energy Independence and cutting spending. Democrats shouldn’t focus on passing as many things as possible because that allows the President the momentum of veto. Instead, Democrats should build an agenda on the big picture that’ll allow whoever runs for President on our side in 2008 to build off of a visionary agenda.

I expect, and hope, that Rahm Emmanuel will take care to ensure that the Democratic agenda remains on the right path in the House and that Schumer and Reid will do the same in the Senate.

Oh, and about our 2008 candidate: Iowa Governor Vilsack is running. I like him, and wish him the best. I’m still rooting for an Al Gore candidacy, however.
