Big night (day) of victories. Control of House/Senate/Court. Hard fought races, clear winners. Congrats are in order. As others have said, now it's time to get to work.

Which leads me to my question. Throughout this campaign, there was much back and forth about the economy: 'Bush's fault, Clinton's fault'. I'm sure everyone was tired of it, but it muddied the waters in a way that shouldn't be an issue in 4 years.

Now that control is solid for at least 2 years, longer for the courts, and perhaps 4 years in Congress, will the Republican leadership take responsibility for what happens in the next 4 years?

More relevently perhaps, will those that voted Bush do the same on this board? The question is obviously moot if things go well. But if things go poorly, there aren't that many scapegoats. Will we see admissions if things go poorly?

I'll throw this down: if things go very well for the US in the next 4 years, I'll admit I voted poorly and was wrong about the direction the country was going in.

There won't be a single moment, of course, where everything will become clear. But for now, I'll work hard to keep my sniping (that's verbal) to a minimum, work to be constructive, and keep congratulating the winners!
