Democrats Seize Control of House in Widespread Voter Rejection of President Bush and Iraq

by Democracy Now (reposted)
The Democrats have seized control of the House for the first time in 12 years and could also take control of the Senate if they hold on to win two tight races in Montana and Virginia. Tuesday's election marked a major defeat for the Bush administration and its Iraq war policy.

As the Democrats take control of the House, California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is set to become the country's first female House speaker. Last night she spoke to supporters in Washington.
