If the Democrats keep the House and Senate...?

[kentuck]

...what type of changes would you want to see?

Do you want them to continue governing as they have for the last 2 years? Or would you like to see something different?

What specific changes would you like to see in the House or Senate?

If they win, are you happy with the direction the Party is going?

If they lose, do you think they should change anything? Should they come back after the election and extend the Bush taxcuts for the middle-class and the wealthy? What do you think?

1. I want them to show all those blowharts out there

just what leftest REALLY is...

[gateley]

2. That would feel soooooo good! nt

[kentuck]

3. what's a "leftest"?

and what's a "blowhart"??

[FBaggins]

6. Obviously we have to win the House and Senate to find out.

Duh. :)

4. Americans want a robust public option, repeal of DADT, serious finance reform,

prosecution on the MERS mortgage fraud, prosecution of BP execs, lobbyist reform, and energy independence, for starters.

Basically, the same stuff we ran on in 2008. Think we can accomplish that?

[digitaln3rd]

14. No!

Because as soon as 2010 is over the media will start the 2012 election season! D:

[metapunditedgy]

15. Then maybe we should run on honesty: "If elected, I promise to devote all my energy to 2012." n/t

5. We definitely need to make it harder to filibuster in the Senate...

Something as simple as actually requiring the Senators doing the filibustering to stand up and talk non-stop, like they did back in the day, would go a long way. People would then see in a very direct way why Congress isn't getting anything done.

7. +1. . The Senate rules sure do need a little tweaking, that's for sure.

"Secret holds" rule has GOT to go!

And the 60 threshold needs to come down.

[AmerVoicesUnited]

12. Agree 100%

So much could've gotten done by now if it wasn't for that.

[ThomWV]

8. +2

[mazzarro]

9. A Dem Senate Will Need a Head cracker for a leader...

and not the Reid style of never ending negotiation and compromising.

[LWolf]

10. I want to see them quit pandering to republicans, blue dogs,

centrists, independents, and other neoliberals and neoconservatives, and corporate donors, and start some change I can believe in.

[strawberryfield]

11. We are going to need the blue dogs.

If the Democrats end up with a greatly reduced majority, they are going need to wheel and deal with the blue dogs. I don't like it one bit, but it is the way it is going to be.

[kentuck]

16. There may not be many "blue dogs" left after this election??

if there is anything positive from the elections?

[LWolf]

17. The blue dogs need to wheel and deal with the rest.

If Democrats were doing a better job representing traditional Democratic voters, they wouldn't end up with a greatly reduced majority.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

13. Some actual leadership in both houses would be a good start.

Neither Pelosi or Reid are worth a damn.
