I'm very busy, but I wanted to post this as an intersting thought for the day:

From Electoral Vote.com:

A Democratic takeover of the House has a couple of consequences I have not seen discussed anywhere. First, Nancy Pelosi will become Speaker, which will make her the highest ranking Democrat in the country--even if the Democrats capture the Senate. The Speaker is second in line for the presidency, after the Veep. The majority leader of the Senate is not even on the list. After the Speaker comes the President pro tem of the Senate, currently Ted Stevens (R-AK) but will shift to Robert Byrd (D-WV) if the Democrats win the Senate. Pelosi is from San Francisco and is far more liberal than Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), a moderate Mormon. Also, Republicans will be hesitant to attack a nice Italian grandmother; people won't like it. Second, after a year of Pelosi running the House, the question of "Can a woman wield great political power well?" will have a more concrete answer. This may have consequences for 2008, when other women may be running for high office.

Oh, and Rush Limbaugh can go to hell.
