Actually, the lame duck Congress is our only hope of getting anything done for the next two years. Republicans only want to prevent Democrats from accomplishing anything, including areas where they typically agree. And Democrats are terrified they might somehow offend a voter by taking a stand on some of these issues. What specifically you think will get done? What the Democrats are supposed to accomplish? Would it be QE2 (an another grand theft by business elites), amnesty for illegals, attack on Iran, middle class tax cut, taxing the rich (I doubt they actually even want it)? I think it would be totally delusional to believe in major change of direction in American politics as a result of elections regardless who wins. Although, I also think, the new Congress will be a little more effective dealing with very likely coming economic sharp decline (the second dip). Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Dodd, Frank combination is like horror movie.
