Yes Ive been planning that headline for sometime!
The US are in the middle of their mid-term elections today and the Democrats have won back control of the House, and at this stage it looks like they could scrape through in the Senate.
This is great news, and sets things up perfectly for 2008. CNN has the up to date details.
For those of a less politics-is-everything mindset, the Senate is the upper house and the House of Representatives is the lower house of congress, basically they are a check on the President - as anything he wants to do, has to pass through both houses. Essentially this lops his bollocks off - Bush will have to work with the Democrats to get anything done.
But on the flipside, if the Democrats are seen to do nothing in the next two years - winning the white house in 08 could be difficult, but its all there for them to do.
