The Dems won the House.

I do not think the Democrats themselves thougth they would win the Senate. I am not sure that Hillary is actually happy about it. Here is why:

Will America elect a Democrat in 2008 and give Congress, the Senate and the Presidency to one party again? I do not think so. If I am right then Hillary really doesn't have a chance.

Why on earth did they expect a tie in the Senate?
