Here is a difficult question to ask should this be the case. What if in four years, we are at about the same point as we are right now. A near filibuster proof senate, huge majority in the house, and now a president, seemingly would hit democrats hard wouldn't it?
I'm not so sure. Should the economy continue it's terrible run, they will continue to tout Bush as the reason for the misery. Many question weather that can work in four years. If the GOP nominates someone with little ties to the Bush administration, can they really mention George Bush every other word, as they did the previous election? Maybe not, but then again, it will resort to the "Republicans did this to you, we are just having a hard time cleaning up their mess."
Maybe that will work, maybe it won't. I think if things show much improvement, then Democrats are in great shape in 2008, but a weak economy may actually help Republicans. Hm...sounds impossible, but interesting thing to look at.
I see it being another election cycle or two before the GOP starts to rebound. Then again, you never know.

Congrats to 44th President Barack Obama, Future of Republican Party
What a big night for president-elect Barack Obama as he easily carries the election and will soon replace George W. Bush as our next president. I am trying my best to believe in Barack Obama, and if he does as much as he talks about, I'll be more than willing to support him in the coming years. I'm always excited with the coming of a new president. Who knows what the future holds, but the majority of Americans (and the world for that matter) got exactly what they wanted. God speed, President Obama.
And even though it must be a gloomy day for John McCain and his supporters, they should be proud of what he has accomplished. Despite everything that went wrong in his campaign, he certainly gave it everything he had against seemingly impossible odds, but he never gave up. He is an inspiration concerning the never give up attitude. Good luck in the future for you John McCain.
As for the future of the Grand Old Party, my first advice for Republicans is to NOT challenge Obama with Romney or Palin. What the GOP needs is some fresh faces and to keep their main focus on regaining senate and house seats. Certainly we don't know what is going to happen, but I expect at this point that Obama will be poised to a second term, start finding new leaders that can match Obama's youth, ability, and intelligence. Things look the same as it did in 1994 before you surged back, so doubt you will be gone forever.
God Bless.

Final Tally
Nothing changed from from last friday so the final tally is looking great for Democrats. Despite all of the numbers, I do expect things to be much closer than some of the polls have indicated, but we will see what happens!
