The Clock is Ticking

Well, the American people have done their part. It's now up to the newly elected Democrat-majority Congress. They have two years to do the right things for the American people. They have two years to demonstrate that they're different from the corrupt, sleazy, self-enriching 109th Congress. They asked for their chance and here it is.

If they can restore people's faith in Congress, enact meaningful legislation to clean up the ethical messes, loss of civil liberties, and election problems, deal with the Iraq situation in an efficient way (there's not really any hope they can eke out an actual victory at this point), deal with an out of control executive, and move this country forward, they will do well in the 2008 elections. If they blow it, then anything goes.
