The Newly Revitalized Democratic Party.

To those who thought that the Dems were finished two years ago, you were wrong. The majority of Governorships for the first time in 12 years, the House majority for the first time in 12 years and a majority in the Senate for the first time since the 2001-02 Congress, which is the only thing Dems had a majority in since 1994. Working on Ed Perlmutter's campaign every waking hour that I wasn't at work, it was so gratifying to see him win. I feel that the Republican revolution of 1994 ended last Tuesday night. The Republicans have not picked up one house seat (Georgia's 12th Congressional district pending), one senate seat, or one Governorship from us. As for Colorado, they failed to take back the state house, let alone take one house seat from us, but we took a few more from them. State Senate, same story. They tried to knock off Betty Boyd, but failed to do so. They even lost a couple more seats in the process. They lost the State Treasurer's office. CD7. We now have the majority in Colorado's congressional delegation. I am gunning for Allard's seat and CD4 in 2 years. The only thing disturbing is that in some of the reddest areas, the staunch conservatives have survived and the socially conservative issues survived. Though, my mood is improving though. Things in life are STARTING to make sense again. They are better with the world. I feel as though sanity is returning to life and to the world. Oh and Rumsfeld's prompt resignation was the icing on the cake.
