Yep. I usually do early voting to rule out any wait times, but I slacked off this year and went today at 5:00. I waited 1 hour, 5 minutes.Originally Posted by Busyman™

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.

I don't understand USA elections (is this like the equivalent of our local elections?) but that Hilary Clinton chap seems pleased with herself so that must be a good thing.

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.
there is no god
Nothing changes there then. Everything that went wrong over the last 6 years has been Bill Clinton's faultI think this has been a very shrewd move by Bush. Going into the Presidential elections all the trouble can be blamed on the Democrats.
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.
