Actually, this logic applies to every single issue that Congress is considering right now. So here's to a do nothing Congress.

But as for more Democrats in Congress next year, well, it all depends on who is managing the voting and doing the counting this November. If it's the same folks as in 2004, I wouldn't expect to see much change in the makeup of Congress.
