Are we all on speaking terms now? Good.

I really liked some of those moderates (and Lincoln Chaffe) that were replaced. I believe some of them were good people that were trying to do what they felt was best for America. Several of them probably still have a future in politics.

At first I was concerned about the gap widening between the parties. On the other hand, it looks like the Dems may have to move more toward the center to get anything done since several of the new Dems are more moderate. And it looks like the Independent party will finally be important. Joe has been one of my favorites in Washington for a while. Kind of nerdy but a good guy.

One of my "Conservative" neighbors told me today that he actually likes the lineup. Surprised the sh*t out of me.

Has anyone told Lincoln Chaffe that he's really a Democrat?
