IF the edges take a step inward. If they don't, then 2008 will be the year of the third party, I think. Jack said:

Gridlock until '08? Probably. And...........if you're heavily invested in stocks and bonds, that's a GOOD.

If with a 55 seat majority the Republicans complained about still not having enough seats to get everything done they wanted, just imagine the turmoil in the senate with a 51 seat majority. If your majority party got there with even a few moderate people, that makes it very hard for either side to guarantee getting what they want to the voter base. Ultimately neither base will be happy with this Congress...but hopefully the moderates will be happier if that is the case.
