Democrats losing control of Congress
With the resent mid-term elections not favoring incumbent Democrats, it seems Democrats could lose their control in Congress and possibly have their policy ideas deflated. In the Wisconsin Senate Democrat incumbent Russ Feingold is trailing Republican Ron Johnson by eleven points. In West Virginia there is a special election to replace Sen. Robert Byrd who passed away earlier this year. West Virginia's governor Joe Manchin seemed to be the favorite, but now has Republican John Raese closing in on him in recent polls. If Democrats lose their control in Congress it could change all the policies Democrats have been fighting for since Obama was elected and they took control of Congress. It makes you wonder if any true policy action can take place with all these changes in whose in control. Republicans have spent the last two years trying to harbor the Democrats policy ideas. If Republicans take back control over Congress then it will be Democrats turn to try and keep their policy ideas on the agenda, while they try to harbor Republican policy ideas.
