Winner of a plan... 
During all of this, our government has grown to be the largest (fattest) under ANY president (so much for small government), and we have racked up the biggest deficit in our history (so much for being fiscally responsible).
Look, whether the dems have a better (or any plan at all) is truly a moot point. What the electorate did yesterday was send a message: "We don't like what you're doing. It's not working. Get out!" If the dems do not deliver, they too, will be thrown out in '08. Like it or not, that's the way our democracy works. I, for one, hope we get this mess straightened out. The administration will be forced to actually negotiate and find common ground -- in other words, be good politicians <gasp!>. The days of the rubber-stamping of bills are over. At least for two years.
Happy and proud to be part of the American electorate.

It's not a moot point juan.
No plan is worse than a bad plan. It's that simple.
To use an analogy, how is anyone better off by deciding to walk into a dark cave instead of climb down a dark hole?
This isn't a Dems vs. Republicans debate, it's a shitty political party vs. the other shitty political party discussion.
As Americans, we should be demanding a better government, not a different government because the one that is in power is disliked.
Hoping for a "good politician" is like praying not to have a hangover over drinking liter of vodka, sure it's possible, but not probable.
