Stuck in the midterm with you: The best and worst of 2006
Typically, the tide shifts during a two-term presidency, so 2006 was the year of the Republican rebuke. Americans went to the polls in November and showed their displeasure with the war in Iraq that's lasted longer than World War II and has American casualties pushing 3,000.
Democrats took control of Congress for the first time– well, since the last presidential rebuke, when a chastened (but perhaps not quite chaste) Bill Clinton faced a Republican majority.
This year, Virginia went from solid red-state status to purple with a new balancing act between blue NOVA and the red rural rest of the Commonwealth, according to political reporter Bob Gibson.
