Setting a new House agenda
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With Democrats taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives, what do you think will be at the top of their agenda? What do you think should be on the agenda?

Where do Georgia Dems go from here?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Clearly the Democrats are going to have to regroup,” said Michael Thurmond, a Democrat who was relected as Labor Commissioner. That made him one of only three Democrats to win statewide races in Georgia Tuesday.
Who do you think can or should lead the rebuilding of the Georgia Democratic party, and how would you suggest they go about it?
New media, old media, dizzy media
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Your election night blogger has been surveying the media scene for you. Feel free to check it out on your own. But, frankly, we’d prefer your eyeballs stayed glued this spot. Here’s what we can report:
Fox News moved at such a dizzying pace and pattern —states tumbling back and forth on the screen — that we headed for the medicine cabinet for a hit of dramamine. Maybe it was the drugs, but we couldn’t comprehend what the graphics were trying to tell us.
CNN produced another form of overload — an assemblage of bloggers in one room that spanned the political spectrum with enough blogosphere star power to keep California lit.
Let me be clear: We are not afraid of blog competition. But the effect of that many bloggers in one place is having the same effect on us as Fox — wooziness.
We think this entry from Wonkette gives a pretty good description of the scene.
And we certainly second its closing statement: “Hooray for the marriage between old and new media! Cyborg Lawyer Glenn Reynolds agrees: blogs, not children, are the future!”

Georgia bucking the trend?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Early returns show Democrats picking up seats in the U.S. House and Senate. But it appears Georgians are on their way to putting even more Republicans in state office - for the first time adding the lieutenant governorship to the “R” column.
Why do you think this is happening? Are there specific reasons the state’s voters appear to bucking the trend?
