The 2007 Congressional Race Winners

Seeing the winners of this year’s congressional race, the more I am convinced that for the opposition to truly win the war (so to speak), it must win both houses of Congress (as I have called for here and here). Getting both houses removes all the ambiguity of having two houses severely opposite to each other. Also, getting the Lower House means Gloria Arroyo will get her chance at clearing her much-maligned name. With everyone concentrating on the Senate, the House remains in administration hands. (Kudos to the Black and White Movement for attempting to campaign for an opposition House via their Black List/White List.)
