The people have decided, and the decided that they have enough of GOP hypocracy,stupidty and the war in Iraq. The Democrats won the House of Represenatives by 22 seats and as of now a 50/49 match in the Senate. Locally in Maryland, Michale "Sellout" Steele lost to incumbent Ben Cardin. (Obviously, being black is not enough to be elected. This means the Era of the Dubya legacy will be crumbling down.) As for the Governor campagin, Ehrlich has lost to Baltimore mayor Martin O'Malley.
Want a example? Donald Rumsfield is stepping down. (Trial and imprisonment for war of agression is remains to be seen).
For the full official tally for the state of maryland here they are.
Now don't celebrate just yet. The Democrats we elected are still sold out to corporate special interests. So the only way we can get what we want like univerisal health care, or free education (instead of capping tuition) is to do one thing: Lobby
Write letters to your elected officials. As a matter of fact, fax your letters since all elected officials have at least one fax machine, so they will have no excuse not to read it. If possible and in most cases it is, go to your legislature to meet your officials in person. Demand what you want, don't wait for them to do it for you, because most likely they will not.
