No (as I'm not American).
Looks like a decent result for the Democrats though from news reports. Tbh it seems about time the U.S woke up to Bush (he really is a bit of a tool) and the Republicans. Heck it might even stop some of the hate (Western hate at least) towards America if the suggested results stick.
I think this has been a very shrewd move by Bush. Going into the Presidential elections all the trouble can be blamed on the Democrats.
The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
I don't really understand either. Is Hilary Clinton the president now?
If the results stick, I guess a congratulation is in order.
Atleast it's better than the alternative.
To clarify: Democrats have both the senate and the congress at the moment.

I think only half of the seats in the two houses come up for election every two years. Anyone elected sits a term of 4 years. The Presidential Election takes place in two years time. It means that halfway through a Presidents 4 year term, he/she can lose control of both houses. I think that has happened this time. Have not seen the full results yet. As I said 'I think'.
The Americans will correct me soon.

My entire knowledge of the American political system comes from watching The West Wing, and most of that is
But I think that happened to President Bartlett once, and it wasn't a good thing, because nothing ever got done.
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
