Majority = Americans = They have spoken

To me this would alleviate a lot of animosity between the members of Senate, Congress, and America as a whole. Is there a written law where the President and VP must be from the same party?????

Not a dumb theory at all. The executive branch was originally made up of the President (who won the most electoral votes) and the Vice-President (the first runner-up from another party). But the concept was abandoned in 1800 after an electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.

HOLY EDUCATIONAL BATMAN .....Thats pretty neat. Never knew that lil tidbit.

Thanks for the history lesson

Our founding fathers knew what they were doing. It's awesome to see how the voice of the people has now changed the entire political landscape. I hope these next few years bring fiscal responsibility, a clear, careful, and positive plan for Iraq, and a move back towards the center. Personally, I would like things to move a bit left (renewable fuels, education), but I think the center is more in the interest of the majority.

The center is more of what most looking for, but the pursuit of higher minimum wages and some of the other battles they've "lost" in the past is more what I'm concerned about. That and some of the views that I've heard/read that Pelosi has is scary. Perhaps they were rumors. I definitely hope it's for the better, despite where I stand. I know we all do.

oh man , hope the dems dont get us all killed

Pelosi is just plain scary with some of the vitriol that's spewed from her mouth.

I'm very concerned for our country and the safety of our citizens.
