HECK YEAH!
WOOHOO! The Democrats have taken control again after 12 years!! So long to the GOP and their ridiculous ways!!
But to top it off - the Italian buttercream icing on the raspberry filling bakery made cake, Donald Rumsfeld stepped down!
Seriously folks, it doesn't get much better than that.
With a little bit of luck (it's been going so well thus far), we will have a Secretary of Defense who will have a little bit more successful tactics, rather than "we will stay the course."
Huzzah to the Democrats who have regained control in the House and the Senate!!!
Though this could prove to make the next 2 years pretty interesting.
With any luck, the Democrats will come up with a top notch candidate along the lines of Clinton to keep the Republicans out of the Oval Office in 2008 too.
Incidentally, I am much more satisfied with the outcome of my age group in 2006 than even in 2004 (I can't speak for 2002, I didn't vote and in 2000 I was only 17). Mad props to the people in our age group who actually went out and voted rather than just griping about how the elections turned out.
And as for Wisconsin politics, while the marriage amendment was passed and I'm not so happy about that, I can be very happy that we re-elected Jim Doyle, and voted Steve Kagen into the 8th District spot in the House...therefore Mark Green not only lost his bid for governor, but a Democrat took his open spot in the House...oh darn, he's out of a job (politically) soon.
Finally! There will be some change in Washington and hopefully in Madison too. So long to the GOP controlled Congress....
