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.

Hmmm...

Where it could go wrong: The Dems come up with all sorts of nanny-state programs and tax us all into the poor house to pay for them.

The Reps become even more intransigent since they think it's payback for the Dems blocking everything when they were in power.

Crazy redneck with a rifle.

Troops are pulled out of Iraq too quickly leaving the country unstable and it turns into a haven for terrorists.

Where it could go right: Our allies gain back a modicum of respect for our country and start working with us again.

Our country grows a pair and stops cowtowing to special interests, corporations, foreign nationals, etc...

Programs that help needy people are crafted in a way that the middle class and the struggling economy isn't further punished.

I dunno. That's all that comes to mind. It's late and I can't brain much either. I'm off to bed.
