The election.

Well last night went well here in the United States. The Democrats won the House and if Montana and Virginia go there way they'll have the Senate too. This is good news, but not all that surprising. More important though is what the Democrats will do when they take over. Will there be a major policy shift? Will we begin withdrawing from Iraq and step back from other confrontations around the globe? Will Darfur and the many other humanitarian issue become more important? Are environmental issues going to be made of the utmost importance? And there are many other questions that will be answered when the Dems take there new positions. I hope things do change here, and I feel that they might. There is a real potential for good things to start to happen. The NYTimes has a nice guide here for anyone interested in the outcomes of last evening on a state to state basis.
