You can see with the immigration bill that both extremes attack the middle when they do manage to compromise. I think the real problem is that we are polarized 50/50. But the GOP also tried to use uberloyalty to Bush to force things through, instead of working with the Democrats in 05-06. Well both sides have obstructed each other.

Since the Democrats in 2005 and 2006 were using a scorched earth policy, nothing was accomplished and then the Democratic Party called the Republicans do nothing. That is why the most important result in 2008 is whether the Democrats get to 60 Senate seats or not. Of course it seems like everyone would rather talk about the bust size of Fred Thompson's wife instead of the whether John Warner is going to retire. kritter,

The public did not understand it then but that did not stop the Democrats from calling them a do-nothing Congress. Of course, the first real test of the Democratic leadership is if all of the budget bills are passed by September 30. That was something the Hastert lead House never could accomplish. kritter,

The Democrats have not exactly lit a fire on Capitol Hill due to a variety of things. First they don't have a supermajority in both houses, which the public most likely does not understand. Second, there is disunity within the party on issues such as the war. The GOP has always been more unified in their voting patterns. Third, they have only been in office for 4 1/2 months.

The only question in the house and senate races in 2008 is whether the Democrats will get to 60 seats or not. The Republicans only have a chance to unseat one Democrat (La) but the Republicans will probably lose in Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, and New Hampshire. The Democrats also could pick up seats in Virginia, New Mexico, or Maine.
