The composition of the next congress is in many ways more important than who is chosen president. They make the laws, they spend the tax money and have much more to say about who gets helped in this country and to what extent. They in part, check and balance the president (and visa versa of course-we will leave out the Supreme Court for this discussion---they only elect presidents-lol).
The president may set agendas and have the bully pulpit but it is the Congress that controls the country's check book. If either Democrat or McCain win the White House, the composition of the new congress will in large measure determine how effective he/she will be in carrying out their economic policies. If the both House and Senate is not of the same party as that of the new president, that president is going to have a difficult time of getting his/her plans for the nation implemented.
If the people of the United States would only make me King for a year, I could get this country into shape so that it would run like a top for a hundred years. It would be nice to be the King.

Hi Neil. Wall St.would actual like the Congress to be of the opposite party eff. creating a stalemate.
I feel that we always have to keep an eye out to watch for power- mad people.
I will close with a saying from the Tao:
When the Govt is visibly the people will suffer.
A modern case would be Nazism. The Govt was clearly in your face as they say.
Thanks
Tom Petty's "Its Good to be King."
It’s good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give ‘em a smile
It’s good to get high and never come down
It’s good to be king of your own little town
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It’s good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You’re out there with winners, it’s good to be king
Yeah I’ll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It’s good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it’s good to meet girls
A sweet little queen who can’t run away
It’s good to be king, whatever it pays
Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time.
Anonymous...there places that I go in my mind sometimes too. Correction...a lot of the time.
G-d gave the mind I have so I figure...use it or lose it.
