The magic number for Democrats is shrinking, bit by bit. One offshoot of the horrible situation surrounding the resignation of Congressman Foley of Florida is that Democrats will now pick up his seat, barring some inexplicable event. It is too late for the Republicans to get Foley's name off the ballot. This brings the number to 12 for the House. That's doable.
The Senate appears within reach, as well. The latest poll numbers are promising.

I know Democrats will not sweep in and clean up the country. I know we'll still face the same problems, with the same potential for corruption and incompetence. But I'm rooting for them anyway. Strongly. There is almost no way they could be worse. And perhaps the Republicans would truly analyze what caused them to lose, and face what has happened to their party. A more responsible and honest, reformed Republican Party would be healthy for the nation, too.
