We will find out in '09
Sure I am getting ahead of myself a bit here but there most likely will be a thorough sweep of Congress and the Presidency by the Democratic Party this election cycle.
They will have no excuses but to return our government back to working for us instead of the fatcat corporate lobbyists.

This will be the first time in a long time that the Democrats will wield this much power.
There is a lot expected of them.
We must not get complacent and continue to hold them accountable.

1. Agreed, assuming we get that far
and after the last 2 elections (and the Cowboys lose in the playoffs), I am not sure of anything anymore.

2. This might be the year of the Rat, but next year will be the Year of Investigations.
Democratic control of Congress, the WH, and DOJ. I wonder what Party will replace the GOP in 2010?

4. Surely such 'investigations' will be 'off the table',
otherwise 'normal business' may be inhibited and the Democratic party accused of being partisan.
