So after Kerry wins...
Will he be able to get anything done? We might have control of the Senate, but definitely not the House. Will he be able to get much done at all?

1. he can smooth over the EU members I would think
and if anybody can get stuff done, he knows how to do it after all the years on the Hill, unlike our last few Prez who were Governors and didn't really understand inside the Beltway IMO

2. I predict that he will have a democratic Senate and House!
I'm being optimistic. That's the only way I can live through all this mess and still maintain what little sanity I have left. :bounce:

3. I am worried that the Bushies won't
leave willingly. Does anyone else imagine this happening? Martial Law or some kind of national emergency called by these nuts. I comfort myself with the fact that to pull something like this off you need the military and along with the Irish, Bush has managed to turn them against him.

I need a vacation where they don't allow tinfoil hats!!!

6. I can see it, for sure. But we'll have to pry them out.

With the way the war is escalating, they'll have sent everyone from the cops to the Boy Scouts to Iraq, so we might have a chance at peeling them out of the WH.

10. People would go apeshit if that happened.
I've always sort of doubted if they could really get away with that.

8. Ditto.
He has an opportunity for reform. Reach out to McCain after the election...maybe even make him SecDef. Get Clark in there somewhere...engage Gore....Dean at DNC....use Carter and Clinton...we need them all. Kerry is reasonable, and get Edwards groomed...he will be the real hero to lead us to the promised land.

9. Congress is more important...
than a Kerry pres victory. With Congress we can indict the exec branch...This has been the case in the past 4 years...with a dem Congress Bush would be in jail.
