Dems in control

The Democratic candidate for President will win the election in 2008, by a landslide margin in the Electoral College. I would not be surprised if the Republican candidate gets fewer than 50 electoral votes.
The Democratic majority in both the House and Senate will be even larger after the 2008 elections.
The Democrats will take advantage of their legislative primacy by enacting a wide variety of legislation, all in a reaction to their pent up frustration with the “lack of progress” in making social advances due to the Republican obstructions of the Bush years. Due to the reactionary element behind this legislative push, much of the legislation will be quite a bit further left-of-center than we might usually expect from mainline legislation. They will succeed in this effort,
because they can,
the Republican party will be fractured, ineffective and still in a daze by the sheer enormity of their electoral losses,and because they are in control of, and masters of the effective use of the spin machine.
