I must admit if anyone did rig the elections its almost about right, with no party having a significant hold on the wheels. Bad news is the Dems have the purse strings so they can call for more troops in Iraq and hold of funding to bills that would address that issue, thus the Reps look like they are doing nothing.
I'm still hoping the partisanship will stop and the government will get down to work because at this point our Canadian minority government looks better than its southern counterpart.
