...but seriously, folks.

I'm with Mary Anne on this one: Other than some nervousness about the effect on the judiciary - whose most important job for the time being (imho) is to defend our remaining Constitutional rights from the zealotry of the Patriot Act, and related bad laws - I doubt a Senate majority will make much difference in daily life for the next two years. And, as she says, anything the public comes not to like in the intervening time will be squarely the Republicans' fault.

As to swings further left or right by the respective parties... someone whose political opinion I value very highly said something to me the other day about 'needing to start from farther afield in order to pull people back to the center'... not an exact quote, but close enough. ;-)
