If we end up with a Democratic run Senate (especially if its 60 or more seats), House of Reps and President -- watch out. We will be in serious deep doo doo. To quote Mark Twain .... "To lodge all power in one party and keep it there is to insure bad government."

You know it's not too often I can say this, but I agree with you, though the end of the world never happened when the republicans had full power of all three branches of government, we still survived, and we will again! It's always best to have checks and balances, the only ones it will harm is the party in power, it's what happened to the republicans, when they had all the power, they abused it and now the voters will extract there revenge, if they do what they are supposed to do they will be rewarded, I have my doubts though that any party will do the right thing if the voters don't hold their feet to the fire! So all is not lost if the democrats take power, a lot of dems are from conservative districts, all we need to do is hold their feet to the fire!
