text: will the democratic party regain control of congress? or will they only win 1 chamber? or will the republican party still retain control? if, you think the democrats will win control of 1 chamber, which 1 is it going to be? the senate or the house? will the democratic party regain control of congress? or will they only win 1 chamber?  it's my opinion unless a miracle happens the best they can hope for would be the house. i don't think they will pull off a sweep like the republicans did in 1994. i'm still amazed that happened.  or will the republican party still retain control?  this would be my guess. republicans don't lose either house of senate. off year elections are about state races. do you like your person or not. president's popularity has little effect.  if, you think the democrats will win control of 1 chamber, which 1 is it going to be? the senate or the house?   if the democrats win one house it will be the house. there all 435 seats are up for re-election. in the senate there are only 33 maybe 34 seats up for re-election. democrats would have to win a greater percentage of the races in order to retake the senate.  nancy pelosi speaker of the house.. harry reid senate majority leader.. does it have a nice ring to it?  i'm a moderate. i'm not rabid for either side. harry whould be ok if he goes a little less combative. nancy? the thought of her really being in charge of anything of importance makes me nauseous.  remember i'm one of those people who really determine who's running this country. i'm not a republican or a democrat. in 1994 the democrats got kicked out because the swing voters were tired of what the liberals were pushing and what the republicans were advocating seemed like a good alternative.  us swingers may be tired of what the republicans are pushing, but democrats aren't offering anything as an alternative but 'we aren't republicans'. that doesn't resonate with me. talk to me. tell me what you really want to do and how you plan to pay for it.   that how you plan to pay for it is the most important part of what i want to know. especialy since democrats have gotten on the 'we're spending too much' bandwagon lately.  congress is there for the taking. but if you want my vote i'm going to have to like what i'm hearing. and if all i'm hearing is the republicans are wrong. that may be true but if democrats don't tell me how they are going to do differently, how do i know they won't be worse?
