I hate having to start this thread with, "I did not vote for Bush", but given the misunderstanding concerning Med, apparently this is important: I did not vote for Bush!!!!!!

That said, I hope all you high fivers like gridlock better than you liked a Republican house, because that is about to happen. If there were a moderate speaker rather than Pelosi, my prediction wouldn't be so dire, but that ***** is going to polarize worse than Karl Rove ever dared attempt. So congratulations, you die hard Democrats, because you won last night, but don't expect anything to change.

PS: To further define my party (not) affiliations, yesterday I voted for a Libertarian candidate for Senate, an Independant for the House and for three "liberal" judges (you can't affiliate party in judicial elections here.)
