WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994.

Jim Webb's squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday's elections.

Time for Congress to roll up its sleeves and get some work done. No witchhunts, no revenge-motivated grandstanding... forward motion. Now, please.

And I'm hoping, for the sake of numerous friends, that this particular one does.

Why would Elizabeth Dole be so happy? Because she has less competition for the nomination?

Forward motion: Rumsfield is being replaced.

They better act because, otherwise, the people who voted them in are going to turn on them in 2008. That's kind of frightening, considering how rapidly --NOT-- the congress gets things done.
