Not so, depending on what you mean by "take". Although the elections are of course "next year", no one elected will "take" their elected positions until the year-after-next, albeit very early in that year.

Thus, in reality, Democrats won't "take the executive and the legislative branches" until 2009, at the earliest.

My prediction is that these elected Democrats will quickly fall out of public favor as they attempt to take the painful steps necessary to correct the problems created by the Bush administration.
