It appears that the Democrats did very well for themselves this time around, capturing control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
How bad the GOP did is still in the air and will be for some time to come as a number of Senate races are still too close to call.
President Bush and the GOP did this to themselves by not doing what they were supposed to over the last year with regards to illegal immigration, spending, fighting corruption and improving the situation in Iraq. They allowed election year politics to interfere with doing their j-o-b-s.
In some cases, moderate Republicans were defeated by conservative Democrats. That's not an altogether bad thing.
It will be interesting to see how this shapes up in the coming weeks and months. But if the Democrats go too liberal on the issues, they may make themselves as vulnerable as the GOP was in this election for the next time around.
