For you guys in other countries who might only be keeping up with the presidential election: you should know just how big a win this election has been for not just Bush, but conservatives in general.

We now hold the presidency, with a popular vote..

Weve gained a bunch of seats in the senate, which increases our majority...

Weve picked up some seats in the house of representatives, which we already had a majority in...

The power we have now is scary even to me... with the large popular vote, weve got a mandate from the people, and control every part of government except the judicial, and it looks like we will have the supreme court soon as well.

I even heard on the news about the possible death of the democratic party.. a complete overhaul of it. While i doubt that, its obvious the country has moved in a strongly conservative way, stronger than even i could hope!

This could be good or bad... if we rule well, the economy grows, and we win Iraq, then people will look at total conservative rule favorably, but if all goes to hell, we've no one to blame.

I just thought id bring this up, as the congress hasnt been discussed much here yet.
