Jumping at shadows

So as all the hoopla dies down, I find myself pondering two years of near total Democrat control. There's a lot of excellent things that could come of it, but I know all too well how the base interests of man seem to interfere with the nobler pursuits. On an evening like this one where I'm so tired that coherent thought takes effort I find it difficult to keep my mind from wandering the 'what if' lines.

So... in spite of my instincts telling me this is a REALLY bad idea ( I know all too well how prolific some of you are :p )... tell me where it can go wrong or right. Tell me what you see, be it daemons or divine. Come fondle my crystal ba... Sing to me.

And try not to go to war with each other. Again.
