This is it folks.  Mid-term elections have finally arrived.  Super Tuesday 2006 is here.  Polls are open and optimism is high for the Democrats.  With 15 seats needed to take control of the House and 6 for the Senate, can the Democrats seize control of Congress and keep the damage the president can do to a minimum for his last two years in office.

President Bush's name will not appear on any ballot around the country, but the races sure have been about him.  With some Republicans distancing themselves from the president, can this be enough to give them the edge on their Democratic challengers.

It has been a long and hard road for many incumbents this election season.  Many call this the time of the Democrat.  Even with the hardness to unseat incumbents, many will not have jobs after today.

Many say the best chance for a branch of Congress to be controlled by the Democrats lies in the House of Representatives.  With the Democrats needing 15 seats to the back the majority, many Democrats and Republicans as well say this is almost inevitable.  The only question remaining is just how many seats will the Democrats actually pick up.  The more challenging battle lies in the Senate.  Even though the Democrats need to gain only 6 seats, this is heavily regarded as a long shot.  A possibility but still a long shot.

Gubernatorial races are also heavily leaning toward a Democrat advantage.  This will set up the 2008 presidential election for the Democrats with these victories.  With a Democratic Governor in control of a state, this makes setting up rallies and meeting much easier.

State House races are also looking toward a Democratic gain.  This will play a huge part come 2010 when the new census comes out and redistricting begins.  With a state being held in Democratic control, redistricting in their favor will be a lot easier.

A time of the Democrat is beginning to sound like an understatement.  All is not won yet.  You must do your job to ensure this huge Democratic victory.  Without the votes from you the people, none of this can be possible.  In our democratic society, the best way to speak out about a government that you do not favor is by getting out and casting your ballot away from that government.  This is the ultimate way to speak out against them.  Many have died and struggled in order to ensure that you will always have this right.  Today, folks, is the day to exercise this right and allow your voice to be heard.
