Say the polls are right and it happens: Obama wins and the Dems make gains in congress. This will make the time period between the election and when the new Congress convenes (Jan 3rd) and Obama takes office (Jan 20th) a really scary time for most.
The outgoing administration and Republicans in congress will try their best to tie Obama's hands for the first few months/years that he is in power. We may see the commitment of US resources to endveours that Obama probably opposes and once this commitment it will take time to reverse or will have to be carried out as pledged.
This always happens when the White House changes hands (esp. when the Party changes) but I am really afraid of what is going to be done this time, esp. if the losses for the Republicans are going to be as stagerring as the polling seems to predict. We are in for a few months of holding our breath and seeing what happens. :frown1:
