    Is America Moving from Right to Left?

    All over the country, once-solid Republican seats in the Senate and Congress are shifting toward the Democrats. We look at the prospects for one-party rule if Barack Obama wins the White House. Is America in for a shift to the Left? What are the forces that moderate potential excesses on Capitol Hill? Also, former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan admits being "partially" wrong on deregulation, and Governor Palin's wardrobe creates an image problem for the candidate as Hockey Mom.
